For 16 years, Jason McGee was a familiar and trusted presence for Sheffield’s student-athletes.

This week, Sheffield High School honored his legacy with the dedication of the Jason McGee Athletic Training Room — a space that reflects the same care, commitment, and heart he gave so freely.

We’re proud to have called him part of the Helen Keller Hospital family, and grateful to see his impact live on in the place he cared about so deeply.

Just days into recovery from a recent procedure, Brooklyn Bigbee arrived at our Emergency Department facing a sudden, life-threatening complication. What followed was a race against time — and a team that never left her side.

From rapid stabilization and blood transfusions to coordinating emergency transport for surgery, every step was taken with urgency, compassion, and intention.

Last week, Brooklyn returned with a cake to thank the team who cared for her during one of the most frightening moments of her life. She also shared these words of appreciation:

“Dr. McIlwain, Dr. Reese, Lindi (RN), Amanda (Ultrasound Tech), and every team member involved were nothing short of amazing. God worked through them, and there was evidence of that from start to finish.”

We’re grateful for the trust Brooklyn placed in our team and feel honored to share her story with our community. 💚

Some of the most important moments in a person’s life begin with a physician. A diagnosis explained. A steady hand in surgery. A conversation that brings clarity, comfort, or hope when it’s needed most.

Today, we recognize the physicians at Helen Keller Hospital who carry that responsibility with skill, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to those they serve.

Your work reaches far beyond our walls and into the lives of this entire community.

Happy National Doctors' Day! 💚🏥🩺

Celebrating the next generation of physicians. 👏🩺💚

Last week, we had the opportunity to spend time with our 3rd and 4th-year medical students — sharing insight, celebrating milestones, and marking the end of an important chapter.

From an informative lunch session focused on preparing for residency, to celebrating Match Day with our 4th year students, to a well-deserved night out together, it was a week full of meaningful moments.

We're proud to be part of their journey and excited for what's ahead.

Big congratulations are in order! 👏 We’re proud to announce our 2025 Employee of the Year, Jacoby “Doozy” Marshall (Hospitalist Coordinator), and our Director of the Year, Stephanie Moore (Director of Practice Management).

From his years as a tech in our Emergency Department to his recent transition into Hospitalist Coordinator, Doozy is known for being an exceptional teammate, a natural leader, and a true friend.

In her role overseeing multiple HKH clinics, Stephanie has demonstrated exceptional leadership, trust and respect. Her recognition speaks volumes, as she was nominated by every single physician across these practices.
