Reflection
“I loved clinical practice, but in public health, you can impact more than one person at a time. The whole society is your patient.” – Dr. Tom Frieden
Prayer
God of life and healing,
We give thanks for the gift of public health care, which safeguards the well-being of communities and protects the most vulnerable among us. Bless our Catholic health care, rooted in the Gospel call to serve, to uphold human dignity, promote justice, and care for the whole person: body, mind, and spirit. Guide those who lead, teach, and labor in this work with wisdom, compassion, and courage. May our commitment to the common good be a living witness to Christ’s healing love in the world. We ask this for all those we serve. Amen.
Call to Action
Take a few minutes today to be grateful for the lives I am able to touch through the work I do in health care.
