🎉 Celebrating the Legacy of Sr. Rosita Schiller 💙

Last week, we gathered at the Saint Mary’s Foundation to celebrate Sr. Rosita Schiller’s legacy on the eve of what would have been her 89th birthday—June 14.

Family, friends, and Trinity Health colleagues came together to reflect on Sr. Rosita’s enduring impact. A moving moment of the celebration was hearing from Kolby of the McAuley Clinic, who shared how Sr. Rosita’s vision continues to shape the compassionate care we provide to our most vulnerable patients.

Thanks to the Sr. Rosita Schiller Endowment Fund for Community Health & Well-Being, her spirit lives on—supporting programs that remove barriers to care and serve our community with dignity and compassion.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in honoring Sr. Rosita’s remarkable life and legacy.
