The LHSON is excited to introduce its new podcast called "Bears of Light" where faith and nursing walk hand in hand. Each week we step into the sacred spaces where care meets calling. We share stories of nurses walking in Christ’s light — guided by compassion and grace, sustained by prayer. From scripture reflections to voices spanning every corner of nursing—this is more than a podcast, it’s a place of light, legacy, and love.

Listen to our inaugural episode titled, "A Matter of the Heart: Cardiovascular and Mental Health Research" with guest speaker, Dr. Lorraine S. Evangelista.

Our second episode is titled, "Code and Compassion: Ethics and AI" with guest speaker, Dr. Mark A. Casanova.
