Because of his leadership on issues like health disparities and prostate cancer, he has served in many capacities as a consultant and scientific adviser. He has served in advisory positions on the local, national, and international level over the years. He also worked in partnership with pastors and different denominations in Jefferson County and the Jefferson County Department of Health to educate and recruit black patients to participate in the clinical trials process. And he serves on the committee for underrepresented minorities at the University of Alabama Birmingham School of Medicine, in conjunction with the School of Medicine’s National Alumni Association. He created a medical scholarship program for deserving male students of color from Alabama who have been accepted into the UAB School of Medicine. The goal is to increase the number of minority physicians who are from Alabama and are willing to practice medicine in the state. He’s also worked to increase STEM exposure to K-12 students in the city of Birmingham, in partnership with the Boys and Girls Club. Doctor Stone is currently the President and Chief Medical Staff of Walker Baptist Regional Medical Center and the President of Jasper Urology Associates. I couldn’t be more proud to have him here today, and we all look forward to his testimony. Thank you, Doctor Stone.”
