Diane Cosgrove is the executive director of Restore Reproductive Health, established in 2021, a mission for South Texas Christian Ministries. A mother & grandmother, Diane retired after more than 23 years with the Hondo Anvil Herald to lead the ministry in providing compassionate, actionable, confidential assistance to women, couples, teens and families in Medina County. Her passion to aid those suffering from sexual-related trauma stems from her own experience with miscarriage, teenage and unexpected pregnancy, and those she knows who have suffered sexual assault / abuse and post-abortion trauma.

Most of Karen’s 29-year nursing career has been spent in the Emergency Room where she saw the definite need for a broader spectrum of health care related specifically to women. She is excited to be such an integral part of the Restore team.

Karen worked in the banking and financial community for many years, then moved to nursing home care, from which she later retired. Her cheerful personality and her desire to help others is a huge asset at Restore.

Elizabeth is a retired homeschool mother of five. During those years, she gained experience in editing and e-book creation for both a magazine and a curriculum company. After graduating her youngest child, she decided to volunteer in her community and is excited about being on the Restore team.
