“Since coming back to Dothan in 2017, Heath has helped the hospital and its affiliated clinics increase the number of patients served by sustaining strong relationships with all providers on the medical staff, both employed and independent,” the Flowers Hospital statement said. “Heath leaves Flowers Hospital and its affiliated access points well-positioned for continued success. We wish him much success in his new role.”
