Fun Fact: Staying hydrated can help reduce some allergy symptoms.

Proper hydration helps thin mucus and supports the body’s natural defenses, which can make congestion and sinus pressure easier to manage
during allergy season.

Drinking enough water is a simple step that supports overall health.

The Russell Medical family are deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Benjamin Russell, known to so many as “Mr. Ben.”

The Russell name represents far more than the sign on our building. It is a legacy of compassion, generosity, and an unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of our community. That legacy lives on in the values that guide Russell Medical and in the care provided to every patient who walks through our doors.

Mr. Ben, alongside his beloved wife, Ms. Luanne, leaves an indelible mark on our campus and across the Alexander City and Lake Martin community. Their impact will be felt for generations to come.

We extend our heartfelt prayers and deepest sympathies to the entire Russell family and all who knew and loved him.

Regular screenings help detect potential health concerns early often before symptoms appear.

Depending on your health history, screenings may include heart checks, cancer screenings, blood pressure monitoring, and other diagnostic tests.

As temperatures warm up, many people return to outdoor exercise and recreational activities.

Start slowly, warm up properly, and listen to your body as activity levels increase. Gradual progression helps prevent injuries and
supports safe movement throughout the season.

Taking a thoughtful approach to activity helps keep you active all spring.

We are Russell Medical...

and this is our corner of the world. This is our place, where the last of the Appalachians smooth in to hills, and loblolly pines and chestnut oaks commingle, where it’s cool in the winter and hot in the summer, and the air is clean and crisp. We are Russell Medical, and this is our corner of the world, where hard-working famililes of all walks of life, choose to live, away from city stife and noise, where Saturday barbecue with friends in town is every bit as excellent as fine cuisine, and the glittering waters of our nearby lake bring visitors from miles around. We are Russell Medical and this is our corner of the world, where families discover doctors and nurses as excellent as any in the state, and the embrace of world-class care is as close to home as a trip to the grocery store, where the continuity of care isn’t lost in exhausting miles of road, but just down the street. We are here for the families, beset by the sudden terror of cancer, and young mothers, starting a family, nervous and alert. We are here for the laborer, injured on the job, for the lake visito, the neighbor from a town nearby, the heart patient, and the injured child. We are here for the sleepless, the wounded, and overweight, and the fit. We are here for the lung patient, the kidney patient, the vascular patient, and the caregiver. But most important of all is simply this: we are here. For you see, we are Russell Medical, and this is our corner of the world.
