For the third consecutive year, our Pediatric, Adolescent, and Young Adult Gynecology division was proud to sponsor and celebrate the Girls on the Run Spring 5K, cheering on young girls from across the St. Louis area as they crossed a finish line they had been working toward for weeks.
The event brought together thousands of runners, families, and volunteers in an atmosphere full of energy, encouragement, and heart. Watching these young athletes take on the course was a powerful reminder of what becomes possible when girls are supported, challenged, and believed in.
Our team was honored to be more than spectators, connecting with the community we are deeply committed to serving every day. The Girls on the Run mission of building self-confidence, fostering teamwork, and promoting physical activity aligns closely with our own values as providers who care for young people at every stage of their development.
We look forward to continuing this partnership and showing up for the girls and families who inspire us year after year.
