This Black History Month, we honor the stories behind the white coats. 🩺
Dr. Johnson shared a powerful glimpse into his journey from the moment his passion for women’s health was sparked to the deeper history that shaped the field of gynecology. By reflecting on the legacy of the “mothers of gynecology,” he reminds us that medicine is not just science, but purpose, representation, and responsibility.

At Loretto, we uplift voices that inspire care rooted in history, compassion, and community — because understanding the past helps us provide better care for the future. ❤️🖤💚

Happy National Hugging Day!

Hugs aren’t just comforting — they’re good for your health too. When you hug someone, your body releases oxytocin, the “bonding hormone,” which helps lower stress hormones like cortisol and can reduce heart rate and blood pressure. Studies also show that frequent hugs may support immunity and contribute to overall well-being. So today, give a hug and feel the science behind it. 🤗💙
