🐾 We're seeing spots this Halloween!

Our Medical City Decatur rehab team got into the Halloween spirit by dressing up as the 101 Dalmatians! From head to toe, this crew brought plenty of spots, smiles and team spirit to the hospital.

Did you know your genes can play a role in your breast cancer risk?

Most breast cancers aren’t inherited, but certain inherited gene changes — including BRCA1 and BRCA2 — can raise your risk.

Knowing your personal and family health history can help you better understand your risk and make informed decisions about screening, risk reduction and whether genetic testing or genetic counseling may be right for you.

Talk with your doctor about your breast cancer risk, or schedule an appointment with a genetic counselor: https://bit.ly/4Bxaf4Z

Every breath counts, and respiratory therapists help make lifesaving care possible. During Respiratory Care Week, Medical City Healthcare joins our broader HCA Healthcare network to recognize the important role respiratory therapists (RTs) play in caring for patients and supporting care teams.

With specialized training in lung and respiratory care, RTs provide expert care during critical moments — from emergency care and intensive care to recovery and ongoing support.

As part of HCA Healthcare, RTs collaborate with care teams across a network that supported approximately 47 million patient encounters in 2025, including 10 million emergency room visits. Through their clinical skill, compassion and collaboration, they help care for patients when it matters most.

To our RTs across HCA Healthcare, thank you for the specialized care you provide through critical moments.
