Seeking input for spiritual plan for Loma Linda University Health

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. 

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

Please take a few minutes to complete the short survey by the end of the workday on Wednesday, July 29. The information will be used by the spiritual plan steering committee in helping 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.
