What is the Shoal Chamber’s Medical Council?

The Chamber’s Medical Council is comprised of businesses, specialists and medical practices involved in every aspect of health care in the Shoals. The Medical Council addresses issues that are of vital interest to the medical community, and works to create positive change. Working together in a non competitive environment, Medical Council members are able to accomplish far more than they could individually.

Here are some specific projects:
• There’s No Place Like Home.
        This marketing campaign is designed to educate Shoals citizens about the quality and availability of healthcare in the area and the benefits of seeking healthcare locally rather than traveling to larger cities. This campaign includes a web site, brochure, and public awareness marketing campaign.

• Continuing Education opportunities
        Working with the University of North Alabama’s Office of Continuing Studies and Outreach, the Chamber’s Medical Council has helped design courses that are relevant, timely, and earn CEUs.

• Healthcare worker recruitment and retention
        The Medical Council is dealing with issues that encourage careers in the healthcare profession, and includes a job listing service on the website for those seeking health care professionals. As a member of the Shoals Chamber, Medical Council members bring attention to their businesses through:
        • Internet links and listings
        • MedMart
        • Membership directory listings and advertising opportunities
        • Member-to-member discount programs
        • Event sponsorship
        • Networking opportunities
        • Attention through Shoals Business Perspective, the Chamber’s business magazine

And there’s more! Ask a Chamber representative or member for a complete list of benefits.
