The healing ministry of Jesus is the core of our mission.

How do we reconcile the central role of Jesus in our ministry with the increasing diversity of our associates and patients?
Health Care as a Ministry of the Church
Sr. Mary Haddad, RSM
What do we mean when we say health care is a ministry? What is the relationship of Catholic health care to the broader ministry of the church, including the heritage of the religious women and men who founded and nurtured the health ministry in the United States?

International Outreach
Bruce Compton
Catholic health care has always transcended national boundaries, but in today's global environment, international outreach, rooted in the imperative to preach the Gospel to the "ends of the earth," has taken on new importance.

It will also help leaders to see how they can enhance their own international health activities.
