Spirit of Commitment
Enjoy
Remaining committed to a person, a cause, a career, or your faith is not always easy. In today’s “me-first” culture, we
don’t always celebrate those who make sacrifices in order to see something through.
In this issue of Spirit, we aim to do something about that. In these pages, you’ll read about local residents who have
stayed the course and remained committed to their faith, their vocations, their communities, their country or their friends
and loved ones. From a Navy veteran passionate about public service to a baker dedicated to both her craft and her
customers, you’ll be inspired by their stories.
Here at St. Margaret’s Health, we remain committed as well—committed to bringing you the best health care in the
Illinois Valley. Toward that end, we recently welcomed two new doctors. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Michael Shin, whose
specialty is sports medicine, and Dr. Robert Koogler, whose specialty is occupational medicine, recently joined our staff.
As you shake off winter’s chill and bask in the warmth of the days ahead, consider recommitting yourself to something
that’s important to you.
