Great day at our leadership development institute (LDI) Tuesday. Thank you to FUMC for allowing us to meet in your gym. Happy to help supply food for those in need.

Someone carried each one of these items into our gym with their own hands… hoping it might help someone they’ll probably never meet.

What looks like “just a pile of food” is really a reminder of what we’re all aching for: to feel connected, to feel useful, to feel like the small things we do still matter.

That’s what Wellstar West Georgia Medical Center brought into our space yesterday. Donations and a sense of shared purpose.

A feeling of "we see you, and we’re in this with you."

And it means more than they know.

So to every participant who brought a can, a box, or a bag… THANK YOU.

You helped stock the shelves for our Meals on Wheels and Soup Kitchen ministries, yes — AND you added a little more hope into this corner of LaGrange.

If you felt something reading this… that soft tug toward community and care… that’s the same feeling these meals will carry forward.

Help us thank these folks for their "little action" that means the world to someone else.

West Georgia Health Foundation Insiders Graduates 11th Class

On October 9, twenty community leaders graduated from the 11th annual West Georgia Health Foundation Insiders Series. This program gives participants exclusive access to Wellstar West Georgia Medical Center’s physicians, health care services, and advanced medical technologies. Insiders visit major service lines during eight monthly sessions, including surgery, bariatrics, emergency, cancer care, cardiovascular, physical therapy, wound care, women’s health, hospice, home care, pharmacy, and Vernon Woods Retirement Community.

Justin Williams, a teacher at Callaway High School, said Insiders was an outstanding learning experience. “Each of the presenters brought exceptional energy, clarity, and depth to their topics. Their real-world experience, engaging delivery, and passion for patient care made the sessions not only informative but inspiring. The combination of professional expertise and engaging presentation styles made it incredibly valuable.”

City of West Point Economic Development Director Meghan Richardson said, “The doctors all had a very caring and welcoming presence. I know that provides patients with confidence and self-assurance for the procedures they need from Wellstar’s physicians.

“I have really enjoyed the sessions and time getting to know other business associates in the group,” added Renasant mortgage lender Tammy Cox. “It’s been very eye opening to what is available in our community.”

Harriett Hayes, director of procurement with City of LaGrange Housing Authority, summed it all up, “This experience was absolutely amazing!”
