Meet Raquel Rivera, MD, a new primary care provider at Physician Care at Bailey Cove! 👋🩺

Originally from Bayamón, Puerto Rico, Dr. Rivera knew she wanted to become a physician as early as fifth grade. Today, she’s excited to call Huntsville her “home away from home” and looks forward to building meaningful relationships with her patients and being part of their health journeys.

Outside of the office, Dr. Rivera loves spending time with her family, traveling and exploring new places with her husband and getting lost in a good novel. 📚

We’re excited to welcome Dr. Rivera to the Huntsville Hospital family!

Since 2023, our Code Blue emergency responders have helped save the lives of more than 1,300 hospital patients experiencing cardiac or respiratory arrest. 💙

Because of their incredible efforts, we recently earned the American Heart Association’s 2026 Get With The Guidelines Resuscitation Gold award in both the adult and neonate/infant categories.

This honor signifies that our Code Blue teams consistently adhere to the latest science-backed guidelines for rapid medical emergency team response, high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and post-resuscitation care.

Behind every guideline followed is a life saved. We couldn't be prouder of the heroes who come running every time the alarm sounds on our downtown campus. 🏃🚨 🏥

Think all ambulances are the same? Think again. 🚑

Huntsville Hospital Critical Care Transport provides ICU-level care for critically ill adult patients traveling between hospitals. Each transport is supported by a specialized team and advanced equipment that allows important treatment to continue on the road.

Originally founded as FirstHeart in 2005 to transport cardiac patients, the program quickly expanded to serve patients with a wide range of critical care needs. Today, the team completes up to 800 transports each year and has cared for patients during more than 10,700 transports, with a fleet of six ambulances.

Now, the team is welcoming a new ambulance to the fleet, replacing a high-mileage unit and helping Critical Care Transport continue connecting community hospitals with advanced specialty care across our region.

Take a look inside this ICU on wheels!

What a season for these North Alabama athletes! ⚽️🏆

Huntsville Hospital and TOC Sports Medicine are proud title sponsors of Huntsville’s United Soccer Club/AFC Huntsville, supporting young athletes as they learn, compete and grow. Our sponsorship helps provide scholarships that make competitive soccer accessible to more kids in our community.

And this year, these kids made history.

After six Alabama FC Huntsville teams advanced to postseason play, the U13 girls won their regional title and advanced to the national finals, while the U13 boys brought home the ECNL Regional League U13 National Championship — the first national youth soccer title for the club and for the state of Alabama!

We love seeing the HH + TOC names on these jerseys, but we’re even more proud of what they represent: opportunities for local kids, support for families and a community that shows up for its own.

Congratulations to the players, coaches and families on an unforgettable season. We’re proud to be on your team. 💚

Our Safety, Security & Parking team has been named one of just eight finalists nationwide for the 2026 Outstanding Security Performance Awards (OSPAs) Outstanding Security Team Award. 👏

And this recognition goes far beyond health care. The OSPAs recognize security programs across industries, with this year’s finalists ranging from health systems to organizations such as Amazon Worldwide Security Operations. HH Health is one of only three health care organizations among the eight finalists.

Their work helps create a safer environment for patients, families and employees while addressing a growing challenge across the health care industry: workplace violence.

Over the past three years, our Security team has helped reduce workplace violence incidents by 28.3%, reduced workplace violence in the Emergency Department by 46% following the launch of Alabama’s first hospital-based Security K-9 program, and trained more than 11,000 employees in de-escalation techniques.

Winners will be announced Sept. 13 at the OSPA Awards Ceremony in Atlanta. Congratulations to our Security team on this well-deserved national recognition! 🙌⭐️
