Walker Baptist Medical Center Medical Staff President Brian Stone, MD was recently selected to testify before United States Senate Committee on Health Education, Labor, and Pensions at a hearing that focused on strategies Congress could adopt to address the shortage of minority healthcare professionals.

Stone is also a member of the Consortium on Disparities of Urologic Conditions, an organization whose mission is to develop strategies to improve disparate outcomes in underserved populations with urologic diseases, the current focus being prostate cancer.

Stone has been a member of the medical staff at Walker since January 2009 and is the founder of Jasper Urology Associates, which opened in 2008.
