THE BEAUTY OF IMPERFECTION
Remember the last time you took a trip to
the beach and walked along the water's
edge, sifting through sand to look for the
"perfect" shell to bring home as a souvenir?
At the end of the day, you can collect a
whole bucket of shells, but chances are,
none of them will be without flaws.
Shells are kind of like people. None of us are "perfect."
All of us have a scar or a blemish or two. But just like
shells, our differences are what make us unique!
I'm excited for you to read this issue of Healthy Spirit
because it shows how we're unique in our own ways.
Whether it's through learning how to dress for your body
shape or reading about a woman's journey through
reconstructive surgery, you'll learn a lot about yourself and
about the importance of making healthy lifestyle choices.
I'm also pleased to feature two of our Saint Agnes Medical
Providers in this issue—Eleazar Lawson, MD, and John F.
Burnett, MD—for their commitment to improving the quality
of life for Valley residents.
Before the summer is over, I encourage you to take time
to connect with family and nature—whether it be a walk
along the beach or a hike in the Sequoias—and accept
the beauty of imperfection.
Wishing you wellness,
Nancy Hollingsworth, RN
President and Chief Executive Officer
Saint Agnes Medical Center
