🌟 More Exciting News! 🌟
We are deeply honored and grateful to share that in September, the Caring Foundation with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama selected Hale County Hospital from among 82 applicants and 22 top finalists from across the state for its Top Tier Diamond Impact Award for 2025.💎🏥
We are so grateful for this incredible recognition and support. It means the world to our team and community. ❤️. It was inspiring to meet health leaders from across the state who are doing such incredible things to improve health in their communities.
We would like to give a special thank-you to Mr. Tim King from the Caring Foundation and Dr. Dow Briggs from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama for their trust and presenting this award to us.
To celebrate, we are sharing a few photos from our CLIMB Academy (Community Leaders in Medicine and Beyond), co-led by our Hale County Hospital Track Fellow, Jada Williams and Horseshoe Farm Fellow, Patty Diaz.
Thanks to the Caring Foundation’s generosity, we have been able to provide CLIMB Academy students opportunities to engage in mentored hands-on service and experiential learning activities including:
✨ Volunteer at local nursing homes
✨ Shadow hospital departments and staff
✨ Assist with Project Horseshoe Farm’s after-school program for elementary students
✨Tour surrounding universities and businesses
✨And so much more to come!
We are so proud of how these young leaders are growing, serving, and climbing toward a brighter future. 🌱💙

Thank you again to the Caring Foundation for helping to make this possible!
