Mission leaders serve an essential role in integrating the heritage, tradition and values of Catholic identity amid the changing context of health care. As the landscape and concerns change, mission leaders must read the signs of the times to ensure evolving strategies, partnerships and care models are suited to bring ministries into the future with integrity to the vision and charism of the founding communities. As vital culture bearers, mission leaders drive mission-focused strategy at all levels of the organization through personal integrity, wisdom and vision. Working with their partners, they bring the Catholic imagination to bear on the future of the organization.
