Established in 1955, the non-profit organization embraces the values of the Sisters of Mercy
SHREVEPORT, LA - September 1, 2021 /MarketersMedia/ —
Mahatma Gandhi was attributed with the following quote: “The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.” This saying has inspired many humanitarians and politicians over the years as they agreed that nations aspiring to greatness must take care of those in need, the marginalized, and the sick. Shawn Kilgarlin, a medical devices expert at American Screening LLC, has a passion she pursues with persistent dedication: that of helping others. The mother of four is especially proud to support the Holy Angels charitable organization. Shawn says that even though she was blessed with professional success and a wonderful family, she cannot imagine a fulfilling life without giving back to society, mostly where her contribution can really make a difference. She adds that it is her honor and privilege to support the tremendous work done by Holy Angels, whose mission is to provide compassionate care and high-quality living to people with intellectual developmental disabilities and delicate medical conditions.
Established in 1955, the non-profit organization embraces the values of the Sisters of Mercy: sacredness of life, human dignity, justice, compassion, service, and excellence. It aims to provide each person, regardless of their physical and mental ability, the highest quality of life, supporting the people in its care through physical, social, spiritual, educational, vocational, and emotional means. Shawn Kilgarlin notes that the excellent quality of care and the innovative services offered at Holy Angels facilities help people with disabilities maximize their potential and live dignified, empowered lives. She continues to say that she hopes her contributions to the organization will aid the efforts of its committed staff to maintain the outstanding standards of service and create new opportunities for the differently abled.
Shawn Kilgarlin and her family visited the Holy Angels campus in Shreveport, LA during the winter holiday season, handing out more than 75 gifts to residents, as well as blessing cards and a Merry Christmas plaque. In a letter expressing their gratitude, senior executives of the Shreveport unit said, because of their supporters they are making great steps toward their vision to be recognized as the premier facility of its kind in the nation. The support they receive allows them to provide the highest quality of care for our Angels, for this is an investment in both the program and the people. This support also protects against the fluctuations in Medicaid funding and ensures that the organization will be here to serve its residents and program participants for another 50 years and beyond.
With more than 20 years of experience, Shawn Kilgarlin is a medical devices expert at American Screening LLC, a company among a select few certified under MDSAP (Medical Device Single Audit Program), which conducts rigorous audits of quality management systems to ensure that device manufacturers comply with the regulatory requirements of multiple jurisdictions. Outside of work, Shawn Kilgarlin devotes her time to looking after her four children, writing, painting, and helping those in need. Her charitable work includes support for Holy Angels – a non-profit organization dedicated to caring for people with disabilities.

Over a quarter of men across the UK are hesitant to discuss their mental health with family or friends, fearing that their loved ones won’t be able to support them. One in five men also hide away from these key conversations, with a third (35 per cent) trying and failing to start a conversation for fear of not knowing how or when to approach the topic. The findings come from the latest research from VisitGuernsey* – the Channel Island that welcomes more than 150,000 visitors from the UK a year, famous for its natural spaces, slower way of living and well-being focussed lifestyle – who have identified that talking about mental health can be daunting, and for many, the fear of burdening family and friends remains a significant barrier to seeking help.
It is almost impossible not to remark on the view from Rebecca Chan’s one-bedroom, one-study, two-bathroom flat in Hong Kong’s Mid-Levels. Directly opposite the entrance to her 1,300 sq ft (120 square metre) home are French doors that lead onto a balcony and frame a lush vista of what feels like at least 50 shades of green. Architect Liz Lau Win-wa was so captivated by the nature on Chan’s doorstep that she used it as the starting point for the design concept after being commissioned to revamp...
