Governor Bentley Releases Statement on Retirement of State Health Officer Dr. Don Williamson
MONTGOMERY–Governor Robert Bentley on Wednesday released a statement on the retirement of State Health Officer Dr. Don Williamson.
“Dr. Don Williamson has been an outstanding public servant, and a dedicated member of my team. At a time when our Medicaid Agency needed major reform, Dr. Williamson more than three years ago stepped up and led the charge to make our Medicaid Agency stronger and more effective for the patients enrolled. We still have challenges to address at Medicaid, including agency funding and full implementation of the regional care organizations. I know as Dr. Williamson transitions out of his role as Chair of the Medicaid Transition Task Force, he will work closely with Acting Medicaid Commissioner Stephanie Azar on a smooth transition.”
“I congratulate Dr. Williamson on his retirement, and I look forward to working with him in a new role with the Alabama Hospital Association.”
