Hello there, Hoover! I’m here in your inbox this morning to get you caught up on everything you need to know about what’s going on around town. Hope you all have a great day.

Here are the top three stories in Hoover today:

1. UAB’s rheumatology care is coming to a clinic in Hoover. Two of UAB’s rheumatologists are headed to UAB Medicine Hoover Specialty Care beginning this month, and the doctors are very excited to work with folks in town. Rheumatology focuses primarily on arthritis, but there are dozens of other rheumatic conditions that could be addressed by one of these specialists. Be sure to say hi to Adam Taylor, M.D. and Dr. Raj Vachhani, M.D. if you see them around town. (University of Alabama at Birmingham)
