Hopes and Dreams Event
On September 15, 2019, St. Martha’s held a community event focused on bringing the community together to support the Hospital and those working in it. The Hopes and Dreams event brought together more than 1200 people in a show of support for the incredible physicians and health staff that support our community everyday. Together, all present joined hands and created a circle, or hug around the Hospital to solidify its importance within the community. Here are just a few photos from that incredible day. St. Martha’s is an important and beloved institution, and people here care about the care providers - they are our friends and family too.
