The event was made special thanks to the generous support from the Prudhomme Fort Chapter of Colonial Dames Seventeenth Century.

Delicious holiday treats were served, and the smiles shared around the table were truly priceless. This annual luncheon is more than a meal; it’s a reminder of the bond that exists within the community and the gratitude we hold for our veterans.

Everyone took a moment to connect, share stories, and reminisce about their experiences.

New Faces at CHI Memorial

Harper Sutton, a family nurse practitioner, to the CHI Memorial Primary Care Associates in Glenwood. With a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology, Sutton brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the team, aiming to provide top-notch healthcare to the local community.

As more families seek comprehensive care, adding professionals like Sutton is essential for ensuring that all patients feel their best. Whether it’s routine check-ups or ongoing care, having skilled practitioners available makes a world of difference to families in need.

Exciting Medical Advancements

In addition to welcoming new healthcare professionals, Chattanooga is also making strides in the field of cardiology. On November 23, Erlanger Cardiology marked a significant milestone by performing the city’s first-ever concomitant left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) and cardiac ablation for atrial fibrillation (AFib). This complex procedure is designed to improve patient outcomes for those living with a heart rhythm disorder and is a remarkable advancement in local medical capabilities.

With these advanced treatment options becoming available right here in Chattanooga, patients no longer need to travel far for specialized care. They can receive cutting-edge treatment in their own community, which is undoubtedly a huge relief for many families faced with health challenges.

Community Matters

As we step into a new year, it’s heartwarming to see the community come together to support both our veterans and those in need of healthcare. From festive gatherings to groundbreaking medical procedures, Chattanooga continues to show its strength, resilience, and – above all – its compassion.

Whether you’re attending a holiday luncheon or visiting your new family nurse practitioner, you are part of a caring community that values support, health, and the well-being of every individual. So let’s keep the spirit of generosity alive as we embrace the opportunities of the coming year!
