I’m excited to join my friend, Dr. Swaid, for the opening of a medical & surgical center! The $21 M facility is intended to be a “one-stop shop,” where patients can see their doctor, receive a diagnosis & have outpatient surgery, all in the same location. #alpolitics

Here's what @AlaSchoolBoards told me, in support of SB397: “Our support for this proposal is not a personal attack or driven by a particular issue,” Executive Director Sally Smith said. “It is based in a profound desire to increase the rigor and results for our students.” /1
