Gentlemen, consider this your reminder to stop putting your health last.

June is Men’s Health Month, and taking care of yourself doesn’t have to be complicated. Regular checkups, preventive screenings, staying active, managing stress, and paying attention to changes in your health can make a huge difference.

Don’t ignore:
• Constant fatigue
• High stress levels
• Elevated blood pressure
• Weight or health changes
• Skipping yearly checkups

At Roane General Hospital, we’re here to help you feel your best, from primary care and preventive screenings to fitness and wellness support.

Our primary care providers are accepting new patients, and our Fitness Complex offers a welcoming place to stay active, connect with a trainer, and build healthier habits for the long run.

With Clinics in Spencer, Southern Roane, Walton, and Arnoldsburg, care is always close to home.

Call 304-927-6822 to schedule an appointment or learn more.

Your health. Your family. Your future.

Happy Retirement, Sheryl!

It’s hard to put into words what four decades of service truly means. For 40 years, Sheryl Sergent has been there for our patients, their families, and her coworkers through some of life's most challenging and meaningful moments. She has shared her knowledge, compassion, and caring heart with countless people, and her impact will be felt for years to come.

Sheryl has been much more than a nurse, she has been a friend, mentor, teammate, and a familiar face that so many have come to know and trust. Her dedication to caring for others has helped shape the culture of Roane General Hospital and has made a difference in the lives of so many throughout our community.

While we will certainly miss seeing her at the hospital, we are so excited for her as she begins this new chapter. We hope retirement brings plenty of time for family, friends, travel, relaxation, and all the things she loves most.

Thank you, Sheryl, for 40 remarkable years of caring for our community. We are grateful for everything you have given to Roane General Hospital and the patients we serve.

Please join us in wishing Sheryl a happy, healthy, and well-deserved retirement! ❤️

We’re excited to share a little love today for one of our own, Terra Keen‑Smith, FNP‑C.

Terra joined RGH in October 2023, but her story with us goes way back. She started her career as an LPN at SRMC, and now she’s come full circle as the primary provider there. If you know Terra, you know she’s the kind of person who pours her whole heart into what she does.

She worked her way from LPN to RN‑BSN to Family Nurse Practitioner, with time spent in the ER at both RGH and CAMC, plus home health along the way. She’s even volunteered as a firefighter with the Newton VFD and has past EMS experience. Helping her community isn’t just something she does, it’s who she is.

Terra has been a nurse since 2006 and stepped into her FNP role in 2023. Her focus is Family Practice and Oncology, and she brings the same calm, steady kindness to every patient she sees.

When we asked what she loves most about working at RGH, she said it’s the family feeling among coworkers and the privilege of caring for people she’s known her whole life. She says knowing her patients trust her is one of the most rewarding parts of her job.

Outside of work, Terra is married and has two daughters. And being back at SRMC means a little something extra to her, it’s where her very first nursing job began.

We’re proud to have Terra caring for our community. If you see her at SRMC, make sure to say hello.

To schedule an appointment with Terra, call Southern Roane Medical Clinic at 304‑565‑3151.

Oncology is not an easy department. It takes a special kind of nurse to walk alongside patients and families during some of the hardest moments of their lives. Through every treatment, every tough conversation, every smile, and every victory, our oncology nurses continue to show up with compassion, strength, and heart.

One thing we hear over and over from our patients is just how much they love and appreciate this team. The kindness they show, the comfort they bring, and the relationships they build truly make a difference. Our patients don’t just see great nurses… they see people who genuinely care.

To our oncology team, we hope you know how valued you are. Thank you for the long days, the emotional strength, the encouragement, and the care you give so selflessly every single day. You make a lasting impact on so many lives, and we are incredibly proud of each of you. 💗
