Catholic healthcare is called not only to heal but to foster the flourishing of every person and community it serves. As societal, organizational, and moral challenges become increasingly complex, mission leaders are entrusted with advancing the enduring principles of human dignity and the common good in new and compelling ways. This four-part webinar series explores the development of these principles from Rerum Novarum to Magnifica Humanitas and considers their application in contemporary health care settings.
Participants will:
- Reflect on the relevance of human dignity and the common good as articulated in Rerum Novarum and Magnifica Humanitas
- Consider how Catholic healthcare can more fully honor the dignity of the human person across the experiences of patients, associates, and communities
- Engage the moral imagination needed for discernment and decision-making
- Explore the role of advocacy in shaping policies that protect and promote human dignity
