Dear fellow graduates and members of the St. Elizabeth Hospital S.O.N.,

It is with mixed emotions that I inform you that I have passed on the role of President of our Alumni Association

 effective April 13, 2025.

My decision was made following many hours of self-reflection and a question of what becomes most important in one’s “journey of seventeen years”.

 Now that the decision has been made; I am forever grateful for each personal relationship afforded me as well as each challenge we faced “head on” together. I leave with a great sense of honor and pride for the accomplishments made during my tenure as President as well as the opportunity to work with and for such amazing women/men.

I leave you all in very capable hands with a Leader and board members who are as passionate and committed to our traditions and our mission.

In closing; as I embark on “new beginnings”, please know that my journey has been most rewarding.

I hope that I have served you well.

With Gratitude and Thanks,

Annette M Walsh McGourty RN 68’
