Ascension’s Mission calls us to go where the need is greatest and care for those most vulnerable. During this unprecedented time of uncertainty, vulnerability and stress, it is important to recall why we, as a Catholic healthcare ministry, exist. As our Mission calls us to do all we can to help those in greatest need, it is equally important that we care for ourselves and our colleagues, so our healthcare heroes can remain on the front lines in service to our communities.
