A New Chapter - by Courtney Bowen, MD

First Day at Medical Associates of the Shoals

Starting a new chapter in the Shoals is so exciting. Although I grew up in Alexander

City, Alabama, and my husband, Corey, grew up in Huntsville, Alabama, we already

knew of the area’s rich music history, outdoor opportunities, and the reputation of the

people for being warm and welcoming.

While my interests tend to run more toward the indoors; such as reading, watching

Netflix and spinning on my Peloton bike, Corey loves to golf, hunt, and mountain bike.

One thing we totally have in common is that we are both in love with the beauty and

quality of life in the Shoals. In a relatively short time, we have purchased a home in

Muscle Shoals and started to feel like part of the North Alabama community.

Medicine has given me the perfect platform for combining my love of the science of the

human body with my love for caring for patients. Even though I am new to Medical

Associates of the Shoals, I am not new to direct patient care. The experience I

obtained through the UAB Huntsville Family Medicine Residency Program really gave

me the skills to feel confident in leading the charge for the health of my patients.

I am definitely welcoming new patients and would be honored to care for you. To

schedule an appointment, just call our new patient line at 256-383-4447 ext. 124, visit

www.medshoals.com and click on New Patients, or email us at

talktous@medshoals.com. We’ll get you scheduled as quickly as possible. I can’t wait

to meet you!

Ovarian Cancer Awareness

Did you know that a PAP test does not detect the most deadly of all gynecological cancers? There is no early detection test. It's important to know early potential symptoms and to communicate with your physician.

Watch this brief video from the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition to learn about the risks and other facts, then share the connection to spread education and information that can help save lives.
