Partnering to support specialty physician recruitment efforts.
RMC and the UAB Health System have a longstanding relationship and, for more than 10 years, have successfully collaborated in several areas, such as Cancer Care, Radiation Oncology and Pathology services, Patient Experience and Engagement, and Antimicrobial Stewardship to reduce the resistance to antibiotics and decrease the spread of infections to improve patient outcomes.
“The UAB Health System has enjoyed a long and beneficial relationship with RMC since 2011,” said Dawn Bulgarella, CEO of the UAB Health System. “A new affiliate agreement would extend the full clinical expertise and medical research capabilities of UAB to the Anniston/Oxford region and help RMC continue to deliver exceptional care to their community. Additionally, there are potential advantages to be gained through combined purchasing power, governance, and economies of scale that would benefit both organizations.”

Additionally, RMC’s vision for a potential affiliation with the UAB Health System includes a focus on:
Excellent Clinical Care and the opportunities to collaborate to bring new services and care to the local region.
Supporting Employees and Providers through a good cultural alignment that supports the vital role RMC plays in the region and will help position RMC as an employer and clinical partner of choice for the entire medical community.
Supporting Growing Communities: Recently, Calhoun County and the surrounding communities have experienced considerable economic growth. As the region continues to develop, local communities must have a healthcare system that can meet the growing healthcare needs of the future.
Care Close to Home so that patients can see their doctors and receive the highest-quality services they need locally.
With this announcement, both organizations will enter a period of due diligence to fully determine the details of a final agreement. Pending further approvals, including from the Health Care Authority of the City of Anniston Board of Directors and the University of Alabama System Board of Trustees along with a standard regulatory review, the organizations plan to finalize an agreement later this summer.
The RMC Board and leadership team commit to keeping the community informed as the process moves forward. Visit RMCForward.org for the latest news and updates.
