In honor of International Women’s Day
On International Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength, dedication, and compassion of women everywhere. This year’s theme, “Give to Gain,” reminds us that when women give their knowledge, time, and care to others, communities gain hope, healing, and a brighter future.
At St. Mary’s Hospital Lacor, this spirit of giving is visible every single day.
Across the hospital, women serve in many roles, nurses caring for patients through long nights, midwives bringing new life safely into the world, clinicians providing life-saving treatment, administrators ensuring services run smoothly, and support staff who keep the hospital environment safe and welcoming.
Their work is more than a profession; it is a calling.
By giving their skills and compassion to patients and families, these women help restore health, dignity, and hope. In return, the hospital and the wider community gain stronger families, healthier communities, and a legacy of care that continues to grow.
The women in this photo represent the spirit of unity and dedication that defines Lacor. Each smile, each raised hand, tells a story of commitment to service and a shared belief that caring for others is one of the greatest contributions we can make.
Many of these women balance demanding responsibilities at work with roles as mothers, mentors, and leaders in their communities. Yet day after day, they continue to give their best.
And because they give, so many gain:
- Patients gain healing and comfort
- Families gain hope and support
- Communities gain healthier futures
Today, we celebrate and thank the women of Lacor for the invaluable gifts they bring to their work and to the people they serve. Your dedication reminds us that when women give, the whole world gains.
Happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible women at Lacor and beyond.
