Sometimes, the same place that holds your hardest moments becomes the place you return to with purpose.
A year ago, Alimasia sat in NICU, holding on through fear and uncertainty as her tiny baby fought to survive. Today, her little girl is healthy and full of life.
Now, she comes back, not as a patient, but to sit with other mothers, to listen, and to gently remind them that hope can grow, even here. More of her story on this link: https://www.lacorhospital.org/from-patient-to-pillar-how-alimasia-returns-to-lacor-hospital-to-lift-other-mothers/

The young learners from St. Michael Primary, Kindergarten & Daycare stepped out with big hearts and warm smiles as they visited our hospital.
On their fruit-sharing day, they spent time with mothers in the maternity ward, offering fruits and Joy. It wasn’t just about giving, it was about connecting, learning compassion, and reminding us all that even the smallest acts of kindness can mean so much. These children showed us that you’re never too young to make a difference. We are grateful.

Sometimes the most powerful thing a hospital can do is step outside its walls.

Outreaches are at the heart of our mission: not just treating illness, but preventing it. Not just serving patients, but serving communities.
