Attached are several other logos for reference. The St. Clair one is the closest to the style we would like.
Does not have to incorporate slogan.
DO NOT want logos with:
-silhouette of pregnant woman
-babies
IDEAS:
-Play on combination of oak leaf forming a mountain ridge (Appalachian mountains...so smooth peaks as opposed to the sharp peaks of the Rocky Mountains)
-Flower/leaves that approximate the shape of an atom, but is not overly obvious
-Open to other ideas
INFO ABOUT OUR AREA:
Oak Ridge, TN where we are located has a few notable things that might be interesting to incorporate:
Town is surrounded by mountains to the north and Melton Lake on all other sides. Lots of opportunities for outdoor activities (biking, hiking, paddling, etc)

Oak Ridge National Lab is located here which is a huge government research facility.
A large portion of our patients come from the surrounding very rural areas and are low income.
Our town played a major historical role in the development of the Atomic Bomb that ended WWII. Something that plays to that would be good, but we don't want it to be overly obvious as we serve a large area that is not specific to the town itself and some people have a negative feeling related to that.
