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).
President Richard H. Hart, MD, DrPH, states that “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.
