There’s nothing better than seeing kids excited about reading 💙📚

At Russell Family Medical Center, we believe healthy kids start with strong minds and healthy bodies. Through our Reach Out and Read® program, children receive a brand-new book at every well child visit — helping build language skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

📖 This week we’re celebrating Read Across America Week and the legacy of Dr. Seuss!
From silly rhymes to inspiring stories, every page turned helps spark imagination and curiosity. Reading just 20 minutes a day can truly make a world of difference.

👩‍⚕️ Our Pediatric Providers:
• Dr. Holly Von Gurenigen
• Shannon Young, CPNP-PC
• Cassandra Justice, APRN-FNP-C

From newborn visits and school physicals to chronic care and same-day appointments, our team is proud to serve Russell County families with compassionate, comprehensive care.

📞 Call 270-866-3161 today to schedule your child’s visit — and let’s keep growing healthy readers and healthy futures together. 💙

Happy Halloween from the BOO crew here at Russell Family Medical Center👻🎃

October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day.

Today we remember all of the babies.

We remember the babies who were born sleeping.

We remember the babies who went home, but could not stay.

We remember the babies who were held, but could not go home.

We remember the babies who were carried, but never held.

No matter what gestation your baby existed, your baby matters.

We see you, and we are remembering your baby with you today and every day.
