Thomas L. "Tim" Stover, MD,class of 1973, hosts "Akron General Good Health Radio Program," heard every Saturday at 11 am on 1590 AM WAKR Radio, where he provides timely medical information and helps listeners educate themselves about ways to maintain good health. As host, Dr. Stover hopes to offer a solid source of important medical news and information every week to listeners throughout the region. He is also the medical director of Akron General’s award winning “Health and Wellness Center in West Akron” and recently opened another 98000 square feet Health and Wellness Center on the east side of Akron which includes Lifestyles, the medical fitness facility along with other outpatient services and a free-standing, full-service 24 hour, Emergency Department, which is a new concept for the area. Dr. Stover credits his passion for wellness, prevention and early detection to his medical school, WVU School of Medicine where as he says “we learned to take healthcare to the people rather than making them come to us.” He says promoting well care rather than sick care is vital in a rural delivery area. He also serves as the medical director for the Care Management Program at Akron General Medical Center which coordinates quality care with the revenue cycle, and in 2006 he was appointed president and chief medical officer of Partners Physician Group, a system-owned physician employment model built around a “franchise” concept. With a concentration in management development for physicians, Dr. Stover earned an MBA from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville in 2001, where he was chosen Outstanding Physician Leader of the Year of his graduating class.
