Pinnacle Physician Group

On Tuesday, the founder of Pinnacle Physician Group, Dr. Charles Abney, appeared on 95.3 The Bear's Steve Shannon Morning Show to discuss the future of DCH.

More than 100 doctors and Alabama politicians have signed a petition asking Tuscaloosa's DCH Health System to hire in-state medical practitioners instead of contracting with physicians from elsewhere in the country.

DCH Regional Medical Center is taking its physician services in a new direction, focusing its efforts on working with a single hospitalist management company. This decision is followed by contract terminations for two local hospitalist groups.
