Dr. Thomas Devlin, a Chattanooga neurologist who helped Erlanger Health System gain national and international recognition in stroke care, has agreed with Erlanger to part ways, he said in a message to the Times Free Press.
Devlin said he could not provide any additional details about his departure but that his wife, cardiologist Dr. Carol Gruver, had also left the health system.
In his role, Devlin oversaw Erlanger’s neurology group of more than 20 clinicians. He co-directed the Erlanger Southeast Regional Stroke Center – one of the busiest stroke centers in the world with over 55 referring hospitals supplying service to over 40,000 square miles.
He remains in his position as the chairman of neurology at University of Tennessee College of Medicine Chattanooga.
Devlin was heavily involved in clinical research and bringing pharmaceutical and device-related trials to Erlanger.
