🍁 Falling for Family Medicine! 🍂

Our residents enjoyed some fall fun at an autumn get-together! This year’s theme: Soup-er Bowl & Pumpkin Showdown 🥣🎃

From soup-for-the-soul that could cure anything to pumpkin carvings that put the “art” in heart (and maybe a few that looked like they’d been on call too long 👀), everyone brought their A-game.

In true Family Medicine fashion, the competition was friendly, the laughter was loud, and the sense of community was the real prize. ❤️

Here’s to a team that knows how to care deeply, laugh often, and make even a soup competition feel like home.

🚨 Scavenger Hunt: Intern Edition! 🗺️

Last week, our interns took over Gadsden one clue at a time—racing to The Factory, GadRock, The Alley, and even the Imagination Place! 🧩☕🎨

From snapping selfies at the “Welcome to Gadsden” mural to catching their breath at Noccalula Falls, they explored the city like pros. Their final stop was at Back Forty where some of our faculty, upper-level residents, and families joined in for a well-earned celebration!

🥇 Congrats to Dr. Davies Toluhi and Dr. Brian Nguyen, our 2025 Scavenger Hunt Champions!🎉
