✨Meet Vilma Lopez, manager of Community Health & Well-Being at Saint Francis Hospital, and a true example of compassion in action.✨

Just as she was preparing to leave town after the passing of her grandmother, Vilma received a call from a patient, whom Lopez had never met before, who was tearfully asking for her by name. This individual’s water was turned off by their landlord two days prior, leaving the patient, along with their 97-year-old mother and disabled brother, in an awful predicament. Could Vilma help? Absolutely.

Vilma immediately stepped in, connecting them with the Housing Authority and getting the issue resolved within the hour.

Her lived experience fuels her purpose, “I learned not to judge because nobody knows anybody’s story. We all have a need."
