This Mother's Day, "Give Mom Peace of Mind That Lasts

Image
This Mother’s Day, planning ahead for the family’s future can be one of the most meaningful expressions of love and care, offering reassurance, protection, and peace of mind for the moments that matter most. Mother’s Day often reminds us to celebrate the women who have given so much of themselves—their time, strength, patience, and unconditional love. For many Filipino mothers, love is shown not only through grand gestures, but in the everyday ways they care for their families, put others first, and prepare for the people who matter most. This year, St. Peter invites Filipinos to honor that same kind of love with a gift that goes beyond the occasion: peace of mind.

It is the image many Filipino nurses grow up aspiring to, and one that often defines what it means to stay in the profession. That definition, however, is beginning to evolve. As healthcare continues to change, new opportunities are opening beyond the hospital, giving nurses new ways to apply their skills while staying grounded in clinical practice. Organizations like Omega Healthcare are part of this shift, creating roles that contribute to patient care on a broader scale. This shift is reflected in the journey of Everem Loren Zerna Tejada, Deputy Manager in the Service Line Department at Omega Healthcare. After starting in bedside care and building a long career in clinical process outsourcing, she represents a growing number of nurses redefining what it means to practice today. Where a Calling Began to Evolve Everem began her career as a bedside nurse, d...
