Rural hospitals in Tallapoosa County know providing quality care isn’t something you can do alone.

Russell Medical executive director of outreach and strategic branding Mabry Cook said the hospital works to complement what Ivy Creek’s Lake Martin Community Hospital does in primarily the southern portion of the county. Cook said Russell Medical works hand-in-hand with Ivy Creek CEO Mike Bruce to find ways they can partner and increase healthcare access locally.
