Today, February 11, we recognize World Day of the Sick— a time to prayerfully remember all who are sick and suffering, and all who care for them. Initiated by Pope John Paul II and coinciding with the commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes, this day is a reminder for us serving in Catholic health care of the importance of the sacred mission we are called to do.

In his message for this year’s World Day of the Sick, Pope Leo XIV invites us to reflect in a special way. Read his full message: https://bit.ly/4bcaXtH

🌟 Scrubs 101 at St. Mary’s Sacred Heart! 🌟

We were honored to welcome several key Lavonia community leaders for our recent "Scrubs 101" experience, giving them an inside look at the exceptional care and expertise happening every day within our hospital.

Our guests toured multiple departments—including Wound Care, Surgery, Radiology, the Lab, and the Wellness Center—to see firsthand the dedication, compassion, and teamwork that define who we are. It’s one thing to talk about our mission… it’s another to walk the halls and meet the people who bring High-Level Care. Higher-Level Caring. to life every day. 💙

A special thank‑you to:
• Court Umbehant, Mayor
• Ashley Umbehant, DDA Director
• Charles Cawthon, Lavonia City Manager
• Andrew Murphy, City Councilman
• Chief Shane Edmisten, Lavonia Police Department

We’re grateful for strong community partnerships and the opportunity to show how deeply we’re committed to serving Lavonia with excellence, compassion, and heart.
