How to use "Matrons" in context?

The word "matron" is derived from the Old French word matrone, meaning "mother." Female matrons have played a prominent role in society for centuries, primarily through their work as nurses. In many countries, matrons still play a crucial role in healthcare. They often act as advisors to doctors and nurses, and assist patients and their families with a variety of matters.
