Stars Are Born July Special!
Everyone should be treated like a star on their birthday.

In honor of Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center's 54th Birthday, Our Lady of Lourdes Health Foundation invites you to honor your own “star” on our Where Stars Are Born Board.

For the month of July, you can purchase a star for the celebratory price of $35. Whether it was today, last week, or 30 years ago, honor someone close to you born at Our Lady of Lourdes with his or her own star.
Yes, I want to honor someone with a star!
