July 2017 Group Watch: Dr. Tom Miller Retiring as Alabama State Health Officer
Alabama State Health Officer Dr. Tom Miller recently announced he is retiring this fall. Reports indicate that he is slated to retire September 1, 2017. Dr. Miller assumed the position in 2015 following the retirement of Dr. Don Williamson. Miller was highly regarded in health circles but came under fire for hiring the former director of the Central Alabama Veterans Health Care System who was terminated in 2014 for neglect of duty. The hire was rescinded following the backlash.
