Last year, Alabama became the 11th state in the nation to pass a universal school choice bill. We established the CHOOSE Act to give more Alabama families the ability to CHOOSE the education that best suits their own child, plain and simple.

Let me introduce myself, I am a retired hospital administrator (after 47 years), and my last job was CEO of the UAB Health System and St. Vincent’s Alliance. I currently serve on the Russell Medical (and University of Miami Health System) board. In my role at RM, I am familiar with the hospital’s operations, quality, medical staff, strengths and challenges. My wife (an Alexander City native) and I will be full-time residents of Alexander City when our house in the Heritage is completed this summer. We plan to move our care from UAB to RM and I thought you may find it interesting why.
