What started as a conversation turned into a life-saving collaboration. 🚑

Thanks to the efforts of Kyle and Crys Prothro and the power of partnership, a retired Roper LifeLink ambulance now serves the community of Santa Rita, Honduras, replacing a pickup truck once used to transport patients across difficult terrain.

This nearly two-year effort brought together many hands and hearts, including LifeLink teammates, IC13, Charleston County School District West Ashley Center for Advanced Studies students and instructor MacKenzie Heath, our Global Missions Council and community partners who helped repair, ship and deliver the ambulance overseas.

Proof that when a community comes together, compassion can travel far beyond the Lowcountry.

Become a Hospice Volunteer with Roper St. Francis Healthcare

We are looking for compassionate adults to spend meaningful time with hospice patients. Volunteers visit patients in their homes or care facilities, usually close to their neighborhoods. You may sit with a patient, chat if they wish, read to them, play music or provide a few hours of respite for their caregiver. We’re also seeking volunteers to make phone calls to patients or family members.

We work with your schedule so you can choose when and how often to visit. No prior experience is needed. Every volunteer receives full training and ongoing support. Volunteers must be 18 or older.

If interested, contact Rosemary Maree at rosemary.maree@rsfh.com or 843-402-1516 to learn more and start your application.

Each Christmas at Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital, a quiet moment marks the start of the day.

Just after midnight, baby Jesus is carried from the newborn nursery to the Nativity scene at the main entrance. He rests in the nursery beforehand as a tender symbol of new life and hope, fitting for a place where so many beginnings unfold.

In earlier years, the hospital’s Sisters performed this sacred task. Today, night shift teammates carry the tradition forward.

Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas.

To our teammates working this holiday to care for our community and live out our mission of healing all people with compassion, faith and excellence, thank you.
