Champions for Your Health

We are so very grateful for each of our employees and for the excellent care they provide every day for our patients聽and community. We see them as champions for the cause of excellent care in our community and want to share their good works with those we serve. With that in mind, we are retiring our tag line “Caring. For life.” and introducing “Champions for Your Health.” The new campaign’s promotional materials will feature 新月直播 team members.

Included here is one of the new print ads. Watch for our new TV and radio commercials, print ads and billboards in the coming weeks and months.

If you personally know one of our health care champions, please take a moment to thank them for all the hard work, time and care they have contributed to helping to heal our community and make it a better place to call home.

Volunteering Is a Family Affair for the Simons

The year with the asterisk beside it – that’s how 2020 will go down in the history books, some have said, due to the impact of COVID-19. But add another asterisk for the pandemic’s positive side.聽

One example is the Simon family. For almost a year, Rebecca Simon has been a 新月直播 volunteer learning about 新月直播 and health care operations. She is a student in the Manderson Graduate School of Business at The University of Alabama. Read more of their story here.
