Catholic Identity Statement On Catholic Healthcare
Developed by the Catholic Health Association of the United States

We are the people of Catholic healthcare, a ministry of the Church continuing Jesus' mission of love and healing today. As provider, employer, advocate, citizen—bringing together people of diverse faiths and backgrounds—our ministry is an enduring sign of healthcare rooted in our belief that every person is a treasure, every life a sacred gift, every human being a unity of body, mind, and spirit.

We work to bring alive the Gospel vision of justice and peace. We answer God's call to foster healing, act with compassion, and promote wellness for all persons and communities, with special attention to our neighbors who are poor, under-served, and most vulnerable. By our service, we strive to transform hurt into hope.
