Last chance to complete Loma Linda University Health spiritual master plan survey

Spirituality has undergirded the work at Loma Linda University Health throughout its 110-year history.

Currently, Gerald Winslow, PhD, vice president for mission and culture, is gathering information and ideas for the development of a spiritual master plan for Loma Linda University Health.  

Between now and December, Loma Linda University Health will be engaged in developing this plan for the next quinquennium (2016-2020). Since December is rapidly approaching, we would like to notify you that this is the final survey opportunity to provide your feedback and ideas for the spiritual master plan. 

President Richard H. Hart, MD, DrPH, states, “Our intent is to move far beyond a simple measurement of events or criteria, to look deeply at the things that create spiritual values and yearnings for all, to see how much we can identify and codify these and to establish a template that can hopefully be useful at other institutions, as well.”

As leaders prepare this plan, they welcome feedback from all sectors of Loma Linda University Health. Please note that even if you participated in the previous survey that was sent out in July, feel free to submit any new ideas that enlightened you over the past few months. We are simply searching for the most transformative answers and ideas, and encourage all to share their vision and hope with us. 

You are invited to share your thoughts at this link: http://emg.wufoo.com/forms/z5uqhrq1jonn8g

Please take a few minutes to complete the short survey by the end of the workday, Monday, October 12. The information will be used by the spiritual plan steering committee in helping to shape the plan.

The committee members are Gerald Winslow, PhD, chair; Ron Carter, PhD, provost of Loma Linda University; Carla Gober-Park, PhD, MS, MPH, director, Center for Spiritual Life and Wholeness; Jim Greek, DMin, director of chaplain services, Loma Linda University Medical Center; Kathy McMillan, MA, director of employee spiritual care, Loma Linda University Medical Center; Jon Paulien, PhD, dean, School of Religion; Kevin Penington, student representative; Leo Ranzolin Jr., ThD, associate dean, School of Religion; Randy Roberts, DMin, senior pastor, Loma Linda University Church; Gilda Roddy, student representative; and Terry Swenson, DMin, chaplain of Loma Linda University.
