If you deal with seasonal or mild allergies, you may find them only a minor nuisance, and it might not be worth scheduling an appointment with a doctor; however, if you find yourself battling allergies for several months a year and they aren’t responding to at-home care these are signs that it might be time to sit down with an ENT doctor to discuss other treatment options.

Dr. Heather Curtis is an ENT with Hannibal Regional Medical Group who strives to create physician-patient relationships in which patients feel comfortable and none of their questions are left unanswered. Accessing care and receiving treatment close to home is better for you, and better for your family. That is why the Hannibal Regional is dedicated to expanding access to quality care specialists right here in our community.

To schedule an appointment call (573) 629-3500.

As a nurse, Kristin McTucker loves being able to bring a smile to people’s faces on their worst days and help them feel better. Kristin has been a nurse for five years, beginning her career at a nearby hospital before gaining additional experience as a travel nurse. When she decided it was time to be closer to home, a position in the Emergency Department at Hannibal Regional caught her attention.

Not originally from Hannibal, Kristin didn’t know anyone at Hannibal Regional, but she took a leap of faith and applied. Kristin shares, ā€œHonestly, it was a little nerve-wracking. I didn’t know anyone when I started at Hannibal Regional, but as soon as I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed. Not only did my team welcome me, they took the time to get to know me on a personal level and have truly become like family. It’s never easy to make a change, but I’ve learned that change brings growth.ā€

Growth has certainly been a part of Kristin’s journey since joining Hannibal Regional in July 2024. She began as a floor nurse, quickly stepped into a charge nurse role, and in November 2025, she became a Unit Coordinator for the Emergency Department. Kristin says, ā€œWith the help of my team and nurse leadership, I’ve had the opportunity to grow and take on new roles. My leaders are setting me up for success and giving me all the tools, I need to be a good leader myself.ā€ As a Unit Coordinator, Kristin not only cares for patients but also supports and invests in her team, something that has made her role even more meaningful.

At Hannibal Regional, nurses are empowered with the tools and support they need to achieve their goals, not only in-patient care but also in their professional growth. Whether you are just starting your career or looking to take the next step, you will find opportunities to grow, lead, and make a difference. If you’re interested in growing your nursing career, contact Nurse Recruiter Amy Lakenburger at 573-629-3593 or visit jobs.hannibalregional.org.

Today our Foundation announced the largest gift in the organization’s history, a transformational estate gift of $9.25 million from longtime supporters Harold and Laura Robertson of Hannibal.

The Robertson’s extraordinary generosity reflects a nearly 20 year relationship with Hannibal Regional rooted in gratitude, compassion, and a deep appreciation for the care they received. Their journey began in early 2006, when Harold and Laura were receiving medical care, and the Hannibal Regional team stepped up to personally assist them in many ways including travel back and forth from the hospital during a winter storm. This simple but meaningful act of kindness left a lasting impression. That moment started a relationship that would grow into decades of support for the organization and its mission.

Over the years, the Robertsons made numerous contributions to Hannibal Regional, including a $500,000 gift in 2007 to establish the Clinical Decision Unit (CDU), along with support for the Believe Campaign and the Building BETTER Tomorrows Campaign.

Harold Robertson passed away in 2019, and Laura Robertson recently passed away at the age of 101. Through their final gift, they have ensured their legacy of compassion and generosity will continue to impact patients and families for generations to come. ā€œHarold and Laura were more than donors; they were part of the Hannibal Regional family. Their story is a powerful reminder that the compassion our team members show each day can leave a lasting impact far beyond the moment of care,ā€ said Wendy Harrington, Foundation President & CEO.

A portion of the Robertson’s gift will be used to establish the Harold and Laura Robertson Excellence in Healthcare Award, an ongoing recognition program honoring Hannibal Regional team members who go above and beyond to provide exceptional, compassionate care to their patients. The award reflects the very experience that inspired the Robertson’s lifelong support. ā€œOur long relationship with the Robertsons started with our team offering excellence in care,ā€ said Todd Ahrens, Hannibal Regional Healthcare System President and CEO. ā€œThis award will ensure their legacy lives on by celebrating the compassion, dedication and excellence our team members provide to our patients every day.ā€

We know we have an amazing team that provides exceptional care, so today as we honor and recognize the legacy of Harold and Laura Robertson, we also celebrate all 1,700 members of our organization who continually work to improve the health and lives of our patients and community.

Julie Reid loves spending time with her children and grandchildren, but she also has a deep passion for her work in mammography. As a Mammography Technologist, Julie is dedicated to providing the very best care for her patients. Known for her positive outlook, Julie strives to be kind and caring to every person she meets, helping patients feel supported and at ease during their visit. To Julie, making the patient feel comfortable in the mammography suite is an integral part of a successful examination.

Julie says, ā€œAfter 37 years in mammography, I have had the opportunity to care for hundreds of tri-state-area women and support their breast health. I love my patients and the profession I’m in. Most of all, I’ve been blessed with the greatest coworkers.ā€

Julie has been a part of the Hannibal Regional family for 20 years. With state-of-the-art technology, a supportive culture, and a team that feels like family, many team members find Hannibal Regional becomes a second home.

Thank you, Julie, for 20 years of making patients feel comfortable and cared for. Your kindness and compassion truly guide patients to BETTER!

For National Nutrition Month, Registered Dietitian Trey Vuichard encourages a positive approach to healthy eating: focus on ā€œadditionsā€ instead of restrictions.

Instead of asking, ā€œWhat should I avoid?ā€ try asking, ā€œWhat can I add to the foods I already enjoy?ā€ For example, bulk up plain rice or pasta with vegetables like carrots, broccoli, edamame, or cabbage for more fiber and color. Try blending regular pasta with whole-grain or chickpea pasta for extra protein and fiber without changing the taste. Even simple additions, like nuts and seeds onto plain yogurt or salads can add healthy fats and make meals more satisfying.

To schedule an appointment with a registered dietitian, call 573-629-3382.
