Women’s History Month!

Give Us Your Best Shot!

We are now accepting photo submissions for this year’s photo exhibit: Hope and Resilience In Action.

This year we are taking a break from our traditional Images from the Heart photo exhibit and instead are going to create an exhibit that features healthcare workers during the global pandemic. Full submission details are available here.

Day in and day out, our members give their hearts and souls to their patients. Let us shine a light on them and spread hope that things will get better in the coming year!
