Exciting News! Our Gastroenterology practice is expanding to better serve our community. 🎉 We’re thrilled to announce that our Gastroenterology office has expanded into a larger suite, still conveniently located in the same professional office building on our campus. We celebrated this exciting upgrade with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony. The new space now features five exam rooms, ensuring even more convenience and comfort for our patients. With four expert gastroenterologists and three advanced practice clinicians on the team—and a new physician joining in 2025—our practice is growing to meet patients' needs. ✨ Now accepting new patients!

Our associates recently gathered to celebrate autumn at our lively Fall Festival! 🎃 From a pumpkin patch filled with mini pumpkins to a colorful display of entries in our 2nd annual pumpkin decorating contest, there was fun for all. 🍰 The Peach Cobbler Factory dessert truck made the day even sweeter, serving up treats for both day shift and evening/night shift associates. Associates also stopped by educational tables to learn about our myVoice Survey, Annual Enrollment, the Power to Heal Campaign, and associate wellbeing. The event wrapped up with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony for our new walking paths! 👏 Thanks to everyone who joined us, and a special thanks to all the departments and teams that made this event possible!

🎃 Our second annual pumpkin decorating contest was a spine-tingling hit! This year’s “Scary Movie” theme brought out incredible creativity from our associates.
