Dear Visitor,
Fourth Cooper Green Forum in Bessemer Focuses on New Healthcare Authority
Next Thursday's forum explores creating a nonpolitical healthcare authority for Jefferson County, and securing more primary care doctors for Cooper Green patients, particularly those with chronic conditions.
Cooper Green Solutions: New Healthcare Authority
Thursday, August 29, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
WaterMark Place (next to Alabama Adventure)
4500 Katie's Way, Bessemer, AL 35022
A healthcare authority – divorced from politics and designed by medical and business professionals – and more money to pay for existing primary care services are some ways to help patients caught in the fallout of changes at what was Cooper Green Mercy Hospital.

At last month's forum, J.M. "Mickey" Trimm, Associate Professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham's School of Health Professions, said that Denver offers a model that Jefferson County can follow because it faced similar financial challenges.

The next forum focuses on ways to implement these suggestions.
