Catholic health care is on the cusp of change. Leaders in the ministry believe that there is a need for a new vision with a 2020 horizon that builds off of the foundational work done as a result of the concepts outlined in New Vision for a New Century (.pdf) — a report from the mid 1980s that outlined a preferred direction for Catholic health care ministry.
Twenty years later, it is clear that much of what was outlined in the six areas of focus for Catholic health ministry and seven strategies to achieve that preferred future has been accomplished. Ministries responded extraordinarily well to that vision and the ministry overall has propelled forward.
This preferred future vision for 2020 will address:
- the services that will be provided;
- how they might be organized;
- who will be served;
- the roles of governance and sponsorship;
- formation of lay leaders; and,
- engagement of our communities in Catholic health ministry.
The description of our preferred vision of the future will be developed iteratively over the next year, broadly engaging the membership of the Catholic Health Association and other key stakeholders in Catholic health ministry including sponsors, local church leaders, community members and content experts.
Over the next year, CHA will be sharing progress on the vision and inviting participation in the process through various venues.
