Union General Hospital was honored to stand alongside our community this afternoon as a proud sponsor and participant at the Stop the Violence Rally at Union Parish High School.

We were inspired by keynote speaker Hollis Conway, an Olympic medalist whose message of perseverance, discipline, and purpose resonated deeply with all in attendance, along with other respected members of our community who came together for this important cause.

This meaningful event was organized by three incredible young leaders from It’s a Girl Thing: Making Proud Choices, Ava Lewis, Raylee Loyd, and Alycia Moore. We are so proud of these young ladies for stepping up, using their voices, and leading with courage and heart.

Today’s rally was a powerful moment of unity as we honored the memory of Kayane Smith. His life was remembered with love, and his legacy reminds us all of the importance of coming together to promote peace and stand against violence.

At Union General Hospital, we are committed not only to caring for the health of our community, but also to supporting its strength, safety, and future. Seeing our youth lead the way gives us hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Together, we remember. Together, we stand. Together, we choose peace.
