Since at least 1980, every holiday season our hospital has celebrated in a special way — by placing a Christmas tree on the top roof. Over the years, that tree became more than just decoration; it became a symbol of hope and comfort for our entire community.

This year, we’re proud to announce that the tradition is back! The tree is once again shining from the rooftop, bringing warmth and joy to our community, patients, team members, and neighbors. We hope this simple gesture rekindles the spirit of togetherness and comfort that has always defined our community.

Here’s to celebrating the season and honoring the traditions that make us who we are.

Today we celebrate the strength, spirit and dedication of our rural communities. With nearly 61 million Americans calling rural America home – and the vast majority of our state being rural – these places are where neighbors know each other, work together and make big things happen.

At LAMC, we’re proud to serve our greater region and partner with the rural providers, organizations and individuals who make a difference every day. This is real. 💪

Let’s celebrate together and show the world the impact of rural health care. 🎉

Your annual physical could catch a serious condition before you ever feel a symptom. Conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even some cancers often have no early warning signs. But routine screenings during a physical can detect them early, when they’re most treatable.

Your check-up also gives your doctor a chance to look at the whole picture: your medications, mental health, sleep, stress and lifestyle goals. A quick visit today can help prevent a major issue tomorrow.
