Editor,

What is a “Diamond Jubilee?”

It’s 60 years of sharing, caring and love. It always starts out slowly, sharing each other’s thoughts and actions. Questioning how they work together and what they bring to this sharing is called a commitment, and that’s how it all starts and carries on. 

There are always ups and downs in any commitment, in any long-term relationship, but you strive to overcome them. When you look back over the 60 years, we can only hope that both partners can look at each other and be happy in what they see and what they shared. The accomplishments in those sixty years are the “diamonds” in the work performed and the “jubilation” is the lives of all who have been touched by this partnership.  

I am not writing about a marriage, but in a sense I am. 

The partnership of St. Luke Community Hospital and the community it has served these 60 years is quite the accomplishment of sharing and love. It has grown each year and has been improving in every way, day by day. Our hospital sits there and we drive past, we look and see how it has grown. It’s only when we need its help that we are so glad it’s right there standing with open arms to welcome us in. We enter with joy waiting for a newborn, with hope for an unknown problem to be solved or sad at a passing of a loved one. St. Luke Hospital is there to serve you, your family and all those who need help.

Commitment to the community we call home is what we are and will always be.
