The American Hospital Association observes the second week in May as National Hospital Week.

Gracious Lord,
in this Hospital Week we bring before you all in our land who serve in healthcare settings.
May their strength and devotion be renewed
for the unique work of compassion to which they are called.

We pray in particular for all members of our healthcare family.
Renew us in our commitment as a faith-based healthcare ministry.
In the depth and breadth of that faith keep us strong in your service
and ever compassionate in our ways with one another,
especially our patients and their families.
Let your light shine through our days and our deeds,
that in all our moments your healing will may prevail,
to the glory and praise of your holy and all blessed name.
Amen.
