What began as a third-grade class project became a sweet reminder for us at OhioHealth. 💙 📚
Earlier this year, Mattie McGuire, a student at Mansfield’s St. Peter's School, wrote a heartfelt letter to our associates sharing her appreciation of healthcare workers and how their service inspires her dreams for the future.
Her Spanish teacher, Alma (Elena) Kososky — or as her students lovingly call her, Sra. K — is also an OhioHealth associate and the motivation behind Mattie’s message.
“Mattie has been a student of mine throughout her elementary journey,” Alma said. “She’s incredibly bright, kind and always willing to help others. When she came to me with her letter, it truly touched my heart. What she wrote reflects exactly who she is — thoughtful, genuine and full of compassion.”
Mattie’s words reached beyond the classroom, appearing on the cover of this fall’s OhioHealth Board of Directors agenda, a testament to our mission and the lives we touch. She hopes to one day become a healthcare provider to “help save people.”
Thank you, Mattie, for showing us that compassion inspires, gratitude matters and the work we do today shapes the next generation.
