Up-to-Date Facilities

“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

I work in a health care facility. My employer, Hendricks Regional Health, is committed to keeping our facilities up-to-date and state-of-the-art. I am blessed to work in a wonderful environment that provides quality care.

When we think about up-to-date facilities, it is important to take some time in introspection. What learning have I done this week to make me a better “facility” in life? What reading am I doing to help me be “up-to-date” or “state of the art”? What plan am I making so the work I do tomorrow will be better than the work I do today?

Stephen Covey, author of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, would call this kind of self-renewal “Sharpening the Saw”. Personal commitment to keeping our personal self up-to-date is a critical component to healthy living.

Have a good weekend.

“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: Holy God, guide me in the way of self-renewal. Amen.
