Congratulations, Dr. Eun Lee and Chris Chandler, NP (hospitalists)! They were nominated for Caring Spirit awards for providing compassionate care.

Dr. Lee: "Thank you for the outstanding care. "

Chris Chandler: "[He] conducted a thorough assessment of the patient's past medical history, comorbdities and current medical needs.

While reviewing the objective clinical tests, he elected to treat the patient's signs and symptoms. That is, he treated the patient, not the EMR. With a most understanding locution, he communicated all tests, treatment rationale and prognosis to the patient and family. His chosen consummate high standards of medical practice, effective communication skills and meticulousness are highly desirable attributes..."

Through our Foundation’s Caring Spirit Award program, patients, family members, and others can honor a physician, nurse, staff member, or volunteer by making a donation to the Foundation. The recipient receives the donor's note of thanks along with a Caring Spirit pin.

Future Docs, a program of the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Medical Society encouraging high school and undergraduate students to pursue careers in medicine, recently gave participants an incredible opportunity to learn from Dr. Rishabh Shah (general/bariatric surgeon).

Students explored the da Vinci surgical system and participated in a hands-on demonstration, using the robot's controls and immersive 3D visualization technology to experience how robotic-assisted surgery is transforming patient care.

Experiences like these would not be possible without physicians like Dr. Shah who are investing in the next generation of healthcare leaders!

The scale doesn’t tell the whole story. ✨

Bariatric surgery changes more than just your stomach.

It also affects hormones like ghrelin — the hormone that signals hunger. After surgery, many patients notice fewer cravings and an appetite that’s easier to manage.

That’s one reason bariatric surgery can be so effective: it helps your biology work with you, not against you.

Stress could be affecting your weight loss more than you think.

High stress raises hormones like cortisol, which can make it harder to lose weight and easier to fall into unhealthy habits. That’s why managing stress isn’t optional — it’s part of caring for your overall health.

Simple habits like deep breathing, daily movement, or even a few quiet minutes for yourself can make a big difference. And if you need support, we’re here to help.

Small daily habits lead to big, lasting results. 💪Protein first, staying hydrated, prioritizing sleep, moving your body,...

Small daily habits lead to big, lasting results. 💪

Protein first, staying hydrated, prioritizing sleep, moving your body, and keeping follow-up visits all add up over time. Consistency matters more than perfection.

Bariatric surgery can do more than help with weight loss — it can change the course of type 2 diabetes.

Many patients see rapid improvements — and some even achieve remission — because surgery affects how the body processes insulin and glucose. If you’re living with diabetes and struggling with your weight, let’s talk about your options.
