UCCS will recognize 13 graduates and the 2020 Unstoppable Woman during the annual Karen Possehl Women\u2019s Endowment Unstoppable Women\u2019s Luncheon from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. May 20 at the Gallogly Events Center. Margaret Sabin, president of Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado\u2019s Southern Region, along with 13 graduating KPWE scholarship recipients, will be celebrated at the luncheon. Sabin will be honored as the 2020 Unstoppable Woman during the event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We\u2019re thrilled to honor Margaret Sabin as this year\u2019s Unstoppable Woman,\u201d said Lee Ingalls Noble, chair of the KPWE advisory board. \u201cMargaret\u2019s dedication to this community as a healthcare leader is transformative. When we think about an unstoppable woman who is leading efforts to improve the health of children and families, Margaret\u2019s name comes top of mind.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabin opened the first Children\u2019s Hospital in southern Colorado after nearly a decade of transforming Penrose-St. Francis Health Services into one of the top health care providers in the region. She leads Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado, Colorado Springs\u2019 111-bed pediatric hospital and supports clinical programs throughout Southern Colorado. Margaret also bolsters Children\u2019s Hospital Colorado\u2019s population health efforts throughout the system and has led efforts to grow community partnerships, philanthropy and awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m extremely honored to be recognized for this distinction,\u201d Sabin said. \u201cBut more importantly, I\u2019m very proud of the \u2018unstoppable\u2019 women who are attaining their educational goals and strengthening our community. The future truly does belong to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
