SOUTH BALDWIN REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER HONORED AS ONE OF THE BEST PLACES TO WORK FOR SIX YEARS IN A ROW! Patient results may vary. Consult your physician about the benefits and risks of any surgical procedure or treatment.

Blue Distinction Centers (BDC) met overall quality measures for patient safety and outcomes, developed with input from the medical community. A Local Blue Plan may require additional criteria for facilities located in its own service area; for details, contact your Local Blue Plan. Blue Distinction Centers+ (BDC+) also met cost measures that address consumers’ need for affordable healthcare. Each facility’s cost of care is evaluated using data from its Local Blue Plan. Facilities in CA, ID, NY, PA, and WA may lie in two Local Blue Plans’ areas, resulting in two evaluations for cost of care; and their own Local Blue Plans decide whether one or both cost of care evaluation(s) must meet BDC+ national criteria. National criteria for BDC and BDC+ are displayed on www.bcbs.com. Individual outcomes may vary. For details on a provider’s in-network status or your own policy’s coverage, contact your Local Blue Plan and ask your provider before making an appointment. Neither Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association nor any Blue Plans are responsible for non-covered charges or other losses or damages resulting from Blue Distinction or other provider finder information or care received from Blue Distinction or other providers.

A century of wisdom Baldwin County is home to several centenarians, and lots of residents who have almost crossed that magical 100 year mark. They have seen changes in the landscape, politics and technology. Now, they tell us their secret to longevity.

Fredrick “Lawrence” Brown • Resident of Oakwood’s North Baldwin Center For Living • Born Oct. 5, 1919 • Six children, 13 grandchildren, 24 great grandchildren, 7 great great grandchildren • He is a World War II veteran and loves to fish “Well I worked hard all my life.

I made my living at Newport Tar Plant. I’ve always taken it easy and enjoyed life. I also love to sing. I love it more than anything!

It makes me feel good to sing to others.”

What is your favorite song you like to sing? “When the roll is called up yonder”

Lula Outlaw • Resident of Country Place Senior Living of Foley • Born Nov. 6, 1917 • Five children, 11 grandchildren, 18 great grandchildren, 8 great great grandchildren “I don’t know why I have lived this long but I am thankful for each day God gives me. My mother taught us at an early age to take care of ourselves spiritually, mentally and physically. I truly believe my faith, the love of my family and an active lifestyle has kept me strong throughout these almost 100 years.”
