Our Mission and Vision:
To extend the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. CHRISTUS Health, a Catholic health ministry, will be a leader, a partner and an advocate in the creation of innovative health and wellness solutions that improve the lives of individuals and communities so that all may experience God's healing presence and love.
Name and Symbol:
CHRISTUS is Latin for "Christ," and proclaims publicly the core of our mission. Jesus Christ is the Incarnate Word, the Word of God made flesh. It is, therefore, only fitting that it is in another form of His name that our health ministries are called together.
Our symbol reflects the healing ministry of Jesus Christ - a combination of a medical cross and a religious cross. The flowing banner on the cross is a common symbol of the risen Christ, while the royal purple signifies Christ. The flowing banner also conveys a sense of motion as we move forward into a new era of service to our communities.
Our Core Values:
Dignity: Respect for the worth of every person, recognition, and commitment to the value of diverse individuals and perspectives, and special concern for the poor and undeserved.
Integrity: Honesty, justice, and consistency in all relationships.
Excellence: High standards of service and performance.
Compassion: Service in a spirit of empathy, love, and concern.
Stewardship: Wise and just use of talents and resources in a collaborative manner.
