A new approach to organizational assessment can help transform the health care market into a "graced instrument."

Treating symptoms is insufficient: The U.S. Catholic health ministry should tackle root causes and devote itself to thorough reform.

By examining a patient's "objects of devotion," a clinician may uncover clues to an unhealthy lifestyle.

One way a health organization can add revenue is by expanding its geographic reach, thereby increasing the number of people who use its services.

Is sponsorship the same as ownership? This question has stirred Catholic health care since the McGrath-Maida debate of the 1970's.

Representatives of the new sponsoring entities will need to possess certain qualifications.

Like those of other church ministries, a sponsor's mission is to teach, to sanctify, and to serve through governance.
