Mission Statement and Convictions
(Approved by the Board of Directors: February 1996)
The
Mission of the East Liberty Family Health Care Center is to witness to God's love,
known in Jesus Christ, by offering quality, whole-person health care to all,
especially the poor. Our
Convictions are: •Jesus,
attested to in Holy Scripture, is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, who
brings all healing. Following Jesus includes both contemplation (personal and
corporate) and action. Whole-person health care aspires to minister to every
aspect of being human, including body, mind, spirit, heart, and social
situation. •Community
is necessary for healing. Because of this, we work with others (churches,
social agencies) and encourage our patients to join healing communities of
value to them. Because of this, we give priority to building community within
the staff, knowing that ministry is impossible without personal and corporate
growth in Christ. •Health
care is a ministry in a business environment. Because of this, we pledge
ourselves to be as efficient as possible, always giving our first priority to
our prayerful, clinical judgment of what is needed for healing. While we
desire to work with all possible payers, we know that we depend upon God's
love to continue our work. |
