I have a great deal of experience with the MRI Department at JH - over the last three years I have had more than a dozen MRIs on my brain and/or spine.

A CHILD LEARNS GIVING FROM HIS MOTHER Stacie Garrett Our Lady of Peace The Theme Basket Raffle, which is held each year during the holidays at Jewish Hospital & St. Mary’s HealthCare to raise money for hospital projects, is in itself a "Mission Moment" for our organization as team members come together to do something really special to support our healing mission.
