Three doctors are retiring from the West Tennessee Physicians’ Alliance Board of Directors. They will be replaced by new members in a subsequent board meeting.


The outgoing doctors are David Yakin, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon at Sports Orthopedics and Spine; Jason Hutchison, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon at West Tennessee Bone & Joint Clinic; and Dr. Todd Seabrook, M.D., an anesthesiologist at Professional Anesthesia Associates.


“The members of the WTPA are some of Jackson’s and West Tennessee’s most respected and established physicians,” said Dr. Yakin. “Since its creation, the WTPA has sought to include doctors who provide the highest quality of care while maintaining a focus on the individual patient.”


As members of the organization, he added, physicians are able to maintain and manage their individual practices while being aligned with independent providers throughout the region.


“Members can reap the benefits of collaborative efforts while also retaining their individual identities,” he said. “The WTPA also provides continuing education opportunities, marketing capabilities and public engagement efforts that strengthen the relationship between the physician, the patient and the community.”
