Today wrapped up our annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest, and we want to thank everyone who joined in the fun and voted!

First place went to the Candy Corn Puffer Fish, second place to Winnie the Pooh, and third place to Little Shop of Horrors (not pictured, the pumpkin didn’t quite make it through the spooky season).

Our employees also got into the Halloween spirit with creative costumes and plenty of laughter throughout the day.

Happy Halloween from all of us at Hamilton Memorial Hospital District!

Today marks the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month - but not the end of awareness, action, or care.

Throughout October, we’ve shared the facts:
• 1 in 8 women will face breast cancer.
• Early detection offers a 99% survival rate.
• Mammograms save lives - even when there are no symptoms.

But here’s what matters most: You are not alone. And it’s never too late to prioritize your health.

If you haven’t scheduled your mammogram yet, there’s still time. Make the appointment. Take the step - For yourself. For your family. For your future.

From all of us at Hamilton Memorial Hospital - thank you for standing with us this month. Let’s carry this awareness forward every day.
