After eight years at the helm of Whitfield Regional Hospital, CEO Doug Brewer is preparing to retire. During his tenure, Brewer led the Demopolis hospital's expansion of services aimed at improving some of Alabama’s most pressing health challenges while navigating the financial realities of rural healthcare.

Hospital staff, board members and community leaders gathered Wednesday to honor Brewer during a retirement celebration recognizing his service to Whitfield and the surrounding region.
