The Jefferson County Medical Society is thinking of the physicians, care teams, and families along the Gulf Coast as Hurricane Isaias nears landfall.

To JCMS members who are on call, caring for patients, or checking on loved ones: thank you for all you do, and please stay safe.

That includes members whose families are traveling after evacuation orders, and those welcoming evacuees into their homes. JCMS is thinking of you, too.

A little behind-the-scenes from board photo day at JCMS!

Every year, a new portrait joins the gallery of board photos spanning more than 40 years — a hallway that visitors often stop to admire. It's a great reminder of just how much history and dedication has gone into serving Jefferson County physicians over the decades.

Thank you to this year's board members for showing up and being part of that story!

What a great way to kick off this season's Wayne Finley Physician Symposium! 👏

Yesterday, physicians and members gathered at the Homewood Public Library to hear Oliver Hampton, Ph.D., M.S. of Southern Research talk about Catalyst — the precision health program turning participant data into real clinical impact. Attendees were also offered free genetic testing on-site, and more than half decided to take part!

Thank you to everyone who came out! The Wayne Finley Physician Symposium series continues October 20 with Christina Grabowski, PhD (UAB Heersink) speaking on medical school admissions.

Big congratulations to Philip A. Patterson, FACHE, named the new CEO of Grandview Health, effective August 20, 2026!
Patterson brings over 30 years of hospital leadership experience, most recently as Market President for Ascension Providence in Waco, TX. He actually got his start right here in Birmingham, working at Baptist Montclair Hospital while earning his master's at UAB — so in many ways, this is a homecoming.
Board Chairman James Spann called him a "strategic leader, consensus builder and relationship builder" with a deep commitment to patients, physicians, and staff alike.
Grandview is home to many physicians who are valued members of the Jefferson County Medical Society. JCMS congratulates Mr. Patterson and wishes him success leading Grandview's continued growth in serving Jefferson County.

JCMS members and their families hit the trail Saturday for the "Take a Hike!" event and it turned into a great lesson in local history and science along the way. We learned that Turkey Creek is home to the vermilion darter, a tiny fish found nowhere else in the entire world — its discovery and protection are actually why this land became a nature preserve in the first place. Then everyone rolled up their sleeves (and pant legs!) and waded right into the creek with nets to dig around and see what we could find — crawfish included!

A huge thank-you to Emily Hutto with Jefferson County Greenways Foundation for leading us on this adventure and sharing her knowledge of the creek. And thanks to everyone who came out to hike, learn, and enjoy the outdoors together.
