Reflection

“At the center of the universe is a loving heart that continues to beat and that wants the best for every person. . . . Those of us who have this particular vision must continue against all odds. Life is for service.” –Mister Rogers

Prayer

Heartbeat of love,

Along with Nurses’ Week, Hospital Week invites us to acknowledge the good work being done in so many of our facilities and other sites of care. Yes, the ministry that you have entrusted to us is alive and flourishing, and we have great cause to give thanks! For extending your heartbeat to us, we are blessed and humbled. For giving us ample opportunity to extend it to others, we say thanks, wow, and help! May all healthcare workers experience a bounce in their step today, as we gratefully, wondrously, and humbly extend your compassionate ministry. Together, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Reflect upon our BSMH vision statement. Identify a caregiver who uniquely contributes to a culture where associates want to work, clinicians want to practice, people seek wellness and communities thrive. Find a special way to call them out for their service and dedication.
