Spirit of Women

Franciscan St. James is now part of the Spirit Network

Franciscan St. James Health is proud to partner with Spirit of Women, an elite coalition of American hospitals and health care providers that ascribe to high standards of excellence in women's health, education and community outreach. Spirit of Women Hospitals touch the lives of millions of women each year through the presentation of educational events, consumer membership programs, annual conferences, marketing communications and grassroots efforts to improve the health and well-being of women everywhere. Spirit of Women enables participating hospitals to focus on community needs while providing the strength of national support. Franciscan St. James Health is the exclusive providers of Spirit of Women in south suburban Chicago.

What is Spirit of Women?

Spirit of Women is about motivating and inspiring women to make positive changes in their lives. Over the coming year, Franciscan St. James Health will offer a wide variety of Spirit of Women programs including major educational programs with nationally-recognized speakers, exciting community wellness events, and programs on health topics such as heart disease, joint and bone health, pregnancy, diabetes, cancer, and gynecological issues. Our kick-off of Spirit of Women begins with girls' night out on November

Why Focus on Women?

Franciscan St. James Health celebrates women's health through the Spirit of Women network because we believe that knowledge and community support are the keys to wellness. Studies show that women make 80% of all healthcare decisions for their families and we are working hard to give them the tools they need to do so.
