Oklahoma City Region Hosts Benefit for Holy Family Hospital

The Order of Malta in Oklahoma City recently gathered with members of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre in a benefit event for the Holy Family Hospital of Bethlehem. Our guest speaker was Ambassador Michele Bowe, DM, president of the Holy Family Hospital Foundation and the Order of Malta’s ambassador to Palestine.

Holy Family Hospital is located on the West Bank of Palestine, just 1,500 steps from the birthplace of Christ. This Catholic teaching hospital is a state-of-the-art maternity and neonatal critical care center serving women, infants, and children throughout the Holy Land. The hospital stands as a beacon of hope for poor and at-risk families in the Bethlehem region, nearby desert villages, and refugee camps. The hospital and its outreach clinics provide high-quality medical care to all. Christians and Muslims work together every day to serve the families in need without regard to religion, ethnicity, or ability to pay.

Guided by the values and traditions of the Catholic Church, the Daughters of Charity, and the Order of Malta, Holy Family Hospital is committed to the continuing education of its medical staff as a means of ensuring patient care for the poor and sick of Bethlehem. The hospital partners with medical facilities throughout the region to provide necessary medical education and clinical training. As the second-largest employer in Bethlehem, the hospital plays a crucial stabilizing role in the community, providing jobs to 170 Palestinian families and creating employment opportunities for women in an area where few exist.

Holy Family Hospital is a beloved institution in Bethlehem, known as an “oasis of peace.”
