Ozarks Healthcare to Host Third Annual National Day of Prayer Ceremony

The Ozarks Healthcare chaplains will host its third annual National Day of Prayer ceremony on Thursday, May 7, at 11 a.m. The event will take place outside the main entrance of Ozarks Healthcare and is open to the public.

The ceremony will bring together coworkers, community members, and leaders for a time of reflection and prayer. Representatives from state government, city leadership, healthcare, military, law enforcement, emergency medical services, agriculture, and education will each be recognized during the program.

This observance is being held in conjunction with the City of West Plains’ National Day of Prayer event scheduled for 1 p.m. at the People’s Park Pavilion, offering Ozarks Healthcare coworkers who may be unable to attend the community gathering an opportunity to participate in a meaningful service on campus.

“Our chaplain team is here to support our coworkers, patients, and families in whatever they may be facing,” Terence Farrell, Ozarks Healthcare President and CEO, said. “Events like this provide a moment of connection, reflection, and encouragement as we care for the whole person - mind, body, and spirit.”

Ozarks Healthcare invites patients, families, staff, and community members to attend and participate in this meaningful event as the region joins together in unity and support.
