The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed on Friday the dismissal of a lawsuit initially dismissed in Jefferson County over the size of a lien placed on Lanell Puckett for the medical care she received in UAB Hospital for injuries suffered in a car accident.
The UAB Health System is in the process of acquiring Ascension St. Vincent’s hospitals and clinics for $450 million.
“Dr. Selwyn Vickers has been a jewel of the Birmingham health care system,” said Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin. “While I'm happy that he's moving on to new opportunities, I'm very sad to see him leave the Magic City."
