🎄 Celebrating the 12 Days of Christmas — ALH Style! 🎄

What a joyful way to celebrate the season! During our 12 Days of Christmas, employee winners were chosen at random each day and surprised with fabulous prizes — and even bigger smiles.

We’re so grateful for our incredible team who shows up every day to be the difference for our patients, our families, and our community. Moments like these are just one small way we say thank you for all you do.

Be the difference in someone’s Christmas. 💚
A kind word, a helping hand, or simply being there can bring comfort and hope when it’s needed most. This season, we’re honored to care for our community and walk alongside you — today and always.

From all of us at Athens-Limestone Hospital, we wish you a Christmas filled with health, hope, and moments that matter.

Extra joy was definitely on the list at our Leadership Development Christmas Party 🎄✨

We loved celebrating the season and recognizing two outstanding leaders who go above and beyond every day. Huge congratulations (and very well-deserved hugs 🤗) to:

🎉 Teresa Cummings — Front-Line Manager of the Year 2025
🎉 Leslie Wallace — Department Director of the Year 2025

Both were nominated and voted on by their peers, which makes this honor even more special 💚👏

A big thank you to our wonderful host Traci and her elves Christina and Brandy for making the party so much fun 🎁🎅

P.S. Sorry, Jordan… someone knocked your marshmallows on the ground and you didn’t win the game this year.

We wrapped up last week the best way possible — with even more departments delivering Christmas smiles to their Partners In Education classes at Julian Newman Elementary.

So much joy, so many smiles, and lots of holiday fun 🎄✨ packed into the visits. We loved sharing the Christmas spirit with these amazing students and teachers.

Wishing all the students and staff at Julian Newman Elementary the very best Christmas ever 🎅🎄💚

Our Partners In Education visits are in full swing, and the holiday fun keeps rolling. Gifts, goodies, crafts, story time, and plenty of laughter — and yes, we’re still delivering all week long.

We love popping into classrooms, spreading joy, and making the season a little brighter for our students. Stay tuned… there’s plenty more Christmas cheer to come.

Did you know? One of the simplest ways to prevent winter falls is knowing when not to go out — and what you wear when you do matters more than comfort.

“If it is wet or slick, put away the Crocs — even in sport mode.”

In this Healthy Conversations clip, Dr. Phillip Ingram shares practical, real-life advice for helping older adults stay safe during winter weather, from watching the forecast to choosing footwear with proper grip.

Small choices can make a big difference in preventing falls.

Congratulations to Dr. Benjamin Ladner!

Athens-Limestone Hospital is proud to recognize Dr. Benjamin Ladner, Anesthesiologist, as our Physician of the Year. This award is especially meaningful because it is nominated and voted on by our ALH staff—a true reflection of the respect and appreciation he has earned from those who work alongside him every day.

Dr. Ladner was honored during our recent Physicians’ Christmas Social, a special time to celebrate with our physicians, thank them for a wonderful year, and extend our warm wishes for a healthy new year ahead. The evening highlighted not only this well-deserved recognition, but also the dedication, compassion, and excellence our medical staff brings to our community every day.

Thank you, Dr. Ladner, for the difference you make at ALH and for setting the standard for exceptional care.

We recently jingled and mingled with the Athens-Limestone County Chamber and the Limestone County Economic Development Association at their Annual Christmas Party — and what a great way to celebrate the season.

’Tis the season for good conversations, festive fun, and spending time with the people who help make our community such a special place. We love celebrating the holidays alongside our community partners and friends.

Christmas cheer has officially left the building — and headed to our Partners In Education classrooms at Julian Newman Elementary.

Our departments and clinics have been busy spreading holiday joy with gifts, goodies, crafts, story time, smiles, and plenty of festive fun. From crafts and cookies to books and big hugs, these visits are all about making memories and sharing a little extra magic this season.

We love seeing our teams bring the holiday spirit to life and brighten the days of our students. This is what happens when caring people show up with open hearts — and maybe a few Christmas treats.
