Morgan Wallen brings out the one and only — Coach Saban as his special guest for his concert in Bryant-Denny Stadium. Pretty cool moment here! I wonder if Saban is trying to recruit him to the good side.

From 2008-2023, Nick Saban had as many National Championships (6) as he had losses in Bryant-Denny.

Don't hang a banner - I repeat, DO NOT HANG A BANNER - but Alabama was the only team to lead Michigan at the half in this NCAA Tournament.

Compliments to @Delta . While taking off from Atlanta headed to Springfield two tires blew out. The pilots handled the situation well. Circled to use fuel, kept us informed and safely returned to the runway. We ended up on a different plane and safely home by 6:15 pm.

St. Louis Children’s at CoxHealth is pleased to announce that Matthew N. Alder, MD, PhD, a highly regarded pediatric critical care physician, has been named the inaugural pediatrician-in-chief and chief medical officer at St. Louis Children’s at CoxHealth. He is also a WashU Medicine voluntary clinical professor of pediatrics. Dr. Alder’s new role advances a collaboration between St. Louis Children’s Hospital and CoxHealth — supported by the expertise of WashU Medicine pediatric physicians — to expand access to pediatric specialty care across southwest Missouri. Dr. Alder will oversee the joint venture’s pediatric services at the new St. Louis Children’s at CoxHealth, the only independently licensed pediatric hospital in southwest Missouri. St. Louis Children’s at CoxHealth, which opened March 1 within the walls of Cox South, includes an advanced neonatal intensive care unit, a pediatric intensive care unit, and inpatient pediatric care. “Dr. Alder brings broad experience in pediatric critical care medicine across diverse intensive care unit settings and care teams to his new role, where he also will coordinate and direct strategic initiatives for pediatric specialty care,” says Dr. Paul Scheel Jr., vice chancellor for clinical affairs at WashU Medicine, CEO of WashU Medicine Physicians and president of WashU Medicine & BJC HealthCare Physician Provider Organization.

On a cold Monday in our critical care unit, a simple question changed everything: Could we host a wedding so a mom in comfort care could witness her daughter’s big moment? Our nurses, leaders, a local decorator, photographer, and Food Services team came together within hours to create a beautiful, love‑filled ceremony at Cox Medical Center Branson. Eighteen family members gathered. Makenna and Brett said “I do.” And Leanne, with a front-row seat, saw every moment. This is what caring for families truly means — listening, honoring, and saying yes when it matters most.
