For over 100 years, we've served Alexander City and the surrounding region with high-quality, compassionate healthcare close to home. As a not-for-profit hospital, our focus is on people—not profits. We reinvest in advanced technology, expert staff, and expanding our services to make sure every patient receives the care they need, right when they need it.
We're proud to serve families and be part of the moments that matter most—births, recoveries, and everything in between.
From emergency services and surgical care to wellness programs and rehabilitation, we provide a full spectrum of services under one roof.
Our team includes board-certified physicians, skilled nurses, and experienced healthcare professionals dedicated to personalized care.
We bring big-city medicine to a hometown setting with modern facilities, virtual visits, and partnerships that expand what’s possible in rural healthcare.
Russell Medical is more than a hospital. We're your partner in lifelong health.
