Spirit of Women is a growing movement connecting leading hospitals and health care systems across the USA who are dedicated to advancing the cause of women’s health – mind, body and spirit. Through our affiliation with Spirit of Women, we have a wonderful array of educational programs, fun and informative community wellness events such as Spirit Girls Night Out and Day of Dance, a membership program, educational materials and other outreach activities.
What is Spirit of Women?
Building on a long tradition of excellence in caring for women, Holy Spirit Health System has joined Spirit of Women. More than just a media campaign or series of events, Spirit of Women is a growing movement connecting leading hospitals and health care systems across the USA and supported by corporate partners and national media who are dedicated to advancing the cause of women’s health - mind, body, and spirit.
Spirit of Women is about motivating and inspiring women to make positive changes to lead their best, healthiest life. It’s about empowering women to guide their own wellness journey. It’s about recognizing that women are often pulled in many directions. It’s about Holy Spirit’s commitment to caring.
Holy Spirit is also participating in Spirit of Nursing, a pilot program of Spirit of Women intended to celebrate and recognize professional nurses on our staff and in the community. The Spirit of Nursing program includes educational modules such as “Caring for the Caregiver” and “Planning for Your Financial Future,” as well as Holy Spirit celebration events.

For example: educational programs featuring our own experts; fun and informative community wellness events such as Spirit Girls Night Out, Day of Dance, Get What You Need Out of Life (a four-part series); a membership program; educational materials; and other outreach activities.
Why Focus on Women?
At Holy Spirit, we realize the pivotal role that women play in health and wellness decisions for themselves and their families. We want to demonstrate our commitment through this partnership in the ongoing celebration of women's health, and through our belief that knowledge, access, and community support are the keys to wellness.
