Providers of Compassion
“Our values state that we will provide compassionate health care services through quality improvement. Part of continuous quality improvement is investigating ways we can better serve our community by keeping our facilities up-to-date.”
--Dennis Dawes, president/ CEO of Hendricks Regional Health
How would you define compassion? In the health care field at HRH we do our work in a specific way. We do our work compassionately. What does this mean?
It means that we are first and foremost passionate people. We have a love within us that pervades our spirit and moves us to acts of mercy for and with people who seek health care services.
Compassion can be demonstrated in any field of work, not just health care. Daily we should take a serious look at ourselves. Are we/ Will we continue to demonstrate the value of compassion when all of a sudden we are faced with difficult challenges? It is important to keep our action focused on the value of compassion. As we continue to be providers of compassion we will stand in solidarity with the people with whom we work and associate.
Let your light shine before others,
so that they may see your good works
and give glory to God.
--Jesus, as recorded by Matthew (5:16)
A Prayer: God, empower me to be a provider of compassion. Amen.
