The Alabama Healthcare Hall of Fame will induct 12 healthcare leaders into its Class of 2026 during a ceremony scheduled for Aug. 8 in Montgomery.

According to organizers, this year’s class includes physicians, dentists, healthcare executives, researchers, and academic leaders, including the president of The University of Alabama at Birmingham and multiple deans and hospital executives.

“This is a diverse group of individuals who have unique contributions to healthcare in the state of Alabama and beyond,” said Christy Harris Lemak, PhD, chair of the Hall of Fame Board. “We are proud to recognize them and to add them to the select group of people who have earned this honor.”

The Alabama Healthcare Hall of Fame was founded in 1997 to recognize individuals — living and deceased — who have made outstanding contributions and provided exemplary healthcare service in the state.

Organizers said ticket and event information is available through the Alabama Healthcare Hall of Fame.
