Doctors & Teachers in Harmony 2020

Medical Associates of the Shoals, in cooperation with Express Care of the Shoals and AtLast Medical Weight Loss, enjoyed thanking our local educators by delivering bags of classroom supplies and $20 gift cards for use at Office Depot during our "Doctors and Teachers in Harmony" initiative. We appreciate Office Depot for partnering with us to show this support and gratitude to teachers in our area.

According to Josh Vacik, M.D., the Doctors and Teachers in Harmony Initiative is a fun way for the physicians and staff to express their gratitude to local teachers. “We love providing these bags of supplies. Too often, we hear about the amount of money teachers spend out of their own pockets for essential classroom supplies. Studies show that better education leads to better health, which leads to better quality of life. As part of this community, we are more than happy to help our teachers provide the tools for achieving success.”

Polar Plunge to Prevent Suicides

Medical Associates of the Shoals – Greenhill was pleased to sponsor the Polar Plunge to help bring attention to suicide issues among Veterans. On the last day before the new year, just after 1pm at McFarland Park, 200 people braved the icy waters (51 degrees) in order to show their support. Organizer Josh Miles reminded those present that 22 Veterans commit suicide each day. Many within our community have unfortunately had their lives touched by such loss. That's why several of our Greenhill clinical team participated, along with members of their families. We're really proud of them for taking the plunge for such a worthy cause!

There is immediate help for anyone who is contemplating taking their own life. 161 crisis centers remain open around the clock nationwide. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline can be reached at 1-800-273-TALK.
