As we observe this day, let's take time to reflect on the profound difference Dr. King made for our country. Just as Dr. King dedicated his life to serving others and lifting up those who needed it most, physicians are called to serve patients with that same spirit of compassion and commitment.
His dream of equality and justice reminds us that healing extends beyond the exam room—it's about ensuring every patient receives the care and dignity they deserve, regardless of who they are or where they come from.
Happy MLK Day, Jefferson County.

🏥 Important Update: House Passes ACA Subsidy Extension
The House voted Thursday (230-196) to extend enhanced ACA health insurance subsidies for 3 more years in a bipartisan vote that defied GOP leadership.
What this means for your practice:
The enhanced subsidies expired December 31, 2025, affecting approximately 22 million Americans nationwide—including many of our Alabama patients. Without this extension, these patients could see their insurance premiums roughly double, potentially impacting their ability to maintain coverage and access care.
What's next:
The bill moves to the Senate, where its fate is uncertain. Senate leadership has shown limited support for a clean extension, though bipartisan negotiations are exploring compromises that could include income caps and minimum premium requirements.
Bottom line for physicians:
This issue directly affects patient access and coverage stability. We'll continue monitoring developments as they could significantly impact your patients' insurance status and your practice's reimbursement landscape.

🎄 A Christmas Miracle Named Jefferson 🐾
Earlier this year, a stray dog wandered into the JCMS/JCMFT parking lot. Thanks to the compassion of our staff and the dedication of JCMS physician Dr. Carol Leitner and Keith Roberts, that stray found more than just a home—he found his calling.
Meet Jefferson! After completing training at Highland Canine Training Center in Hanceville, AL, Jefferson excelled so remarkably that his trainer, Wyatt, adopted him. Today, Jefferson helps train other dogs in obedience, serves as a model for prospective dog trainers, and is learning agility training.
From parking lot stray to professional training assistant—Jefferson's journey reminds us that compassion and second chances can transform lives.
Wishing everyone a season filled with kindness, hope, and the joy of making a difference. 🎅🐕
Happy Holidays from all of us!
