Representatives Kara Swink, community relations manager for Providence, and Robin Tripp, executive director of the Providence Foundation, attended the presentation. Swink said she was "super happy to be here," and Tripp thanked the court for recognition of "all the hard work that started a hundred and 20 years ago with the sisters." The Court voted to approve the proclamation without opposition.
The proclamation will be made a permanent part of the court minutes and designates 11/20/2025 as Ascension Providence Hospital 120th anniversary day in McLennan County.
