Healthy Conversations

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this video highlights how deeply breast cancer touches our community — from family and friends to coworkers and neighbors. With 1 in 8 women diagnosed in their lifetime, early detection and access to advanced screening are more important than ever. Join us as we take you inside the Pink Elephant Luncheon, held on October 29th at the Limestone County Event Center. This annual event raises funds for lifesaving diagnostic equipment and mammogram scholarships through the Athens-Limestone Hospital Foundation. Your support helps bring the latest technology to women in our community and ensures that more patients have access to critical screenings. Together, we can truly #BeTheDifference. Learn more, get involved, and help us continue the fight against breast cancer. 💗

Join us for the very first 2025 State of the Health Care Panel, hosted by the Athens-Limestone County Chamber of Commerce at Athens State University. This event brings together hospital leaders, community partners, and healthcare professionals to talk about where we are today and where we’re headed. You’ll hear from Athens-Limestone Hospital’s leadership team—Tracy Collins, Brant McGill, Anthony Blackwood, Catherine Brown, and Dr. Crystal Walker—on everything from hospital growth and new services, to EMS upgrades, ER wait times, surgical advancements, nursing pipelines, and how they’re working to keep healthcare close to home. It’s an inside look at the challenges, innovations, and opportunities shaping the future of healthcare right here in Limestone County.
