In the wake of the recent surge of COVID-19 cases, the Alabama Hospital Association has circulated a statement urging social distancing, wearing masks indoors and getting vaccinated. Area healthcare leaders at Russell Medical are signing on too and urging everyone to do their part.
To help, Russell Medical will return to Saturday’s Main Street Alexander City with a vaccination clinic from 7 to 11 a.m.
