Alabama Regional Medical Services expands to meet growing needs
Alabama Regional Medical Services Expands Healthcare Access in Birmingham
Alabama Regional Medical Services, under the leadership of Dr. Ted Greer Jr., is enhancing healthcare accessibility in Birmingham. As a federally funded facility, it emphasizes serving all patients, regardless of their financial situation. “When I say all patients… we’re going to serve anyone who walks through those doors,” Dr. Greer affirmed.
With nearly 7,000 unduplicated patients, the facility offers diverse services, including medical, optometry, behavioral health, and a dental clinic across five locations. Anticipating growth, Dr. Greer expects patient numbers to double, supported by a recent $1.2 million federal investment aimed at improving their behavioral health services, particularly for Birmingham city schools.
Highlighting the importance of mental health support for children, Dr. Greer remarked, “We want to be a resource… to help with those issues.” Equally committed to HIV prevention, the organization deploys two mobile units to engage with the community in various settings, ensuring widespread outreach.
Dr. Greer stressed that the mission encompasses serving everyone, including the homeless and underinsured, while emphasizing that quality healthcare should be universally accessible. “Our focus is not just on the underserved; we serve everyone,” he stated. The impact of their efforts is evident as patients leave with actionable health regimens, showcasing a holistic commitment to wellness.
