BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - s4story -- The University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) has recognized Derrick L. Miles, FACHE, Founder and Chairman of CourMed® | The Private Health Office, as a Blazer of Influence during the university's Master of Science in Health Administration (MSHA) program's 60th Diamond Anniversary Gala.

The recognition celebrates distinguished alumni whose leadership and professional contributions reflect the impact of UAB's healthcare administration program. It adds to Miles' previous recognition as a UAB MBA World-Class Alumnus, highlighting his academic foundation in healthcare administration and business management.

Miles' work through CourMed reflects an evolving perspective on the relationship between health, wealth, and generational continuity.

Through The Private Health Office, CourMed has developed a private-client health and wellness infrastructure model designed to extend a principal's Healthy Zone across personal residences and established environments. The model positions health as an asset requiring thoughtful infrastructure and governance rather than treating it exclusively as a personal or clinical consideration.

A central component of this philosophy is the emerging discipline of the Health Security Advisor (HSA). The HSA focuses on non-clinical health infrastructure governance, privacy, and continuity within private-client and family-office environments. The role complements established clinical relationships without assuming responsibility for diagnosis, treatment, or medical decision-making.

"Family offices have sophisticated governance structures for financial assets, cybersecurity, and physical security. The principal, however, remains the human asset upon which generational wealth and enterprise continuity depend," said Miles. "Health deserves a place in that architecture. The Private Health Office represents a different way of thinking about that responsibility."
