Last month, the Jefferson Medical Society declared the present model at Cooper Green “an abject failure.” Dr. Max Michael, Dean of UAB’s School of Public Health and architect of an alternative indigent care system that county was supposed to model, called the current situation “a horror story” worthy of a Stephen King novel. He made the comment earlier this month at a meeting of the Over The Mountain Democrats.

Tuesday’s forum is an opportunity for the public to hear how area healthcare providers are working to treat poor and under-insured Cooper Green patients whose health is failing because they can’t access primary care doctors before their conditions worsen.

County officials have been working to address the exodus of primary care doctors who left because of uncertainty at Cooper Green.
