Getting a #flu vaccine isn’t just about keeping you healthy; it’s also about helping to protect everyone around you who may be vulnerable to becoming very sick from #flu. Sequoia Hospital President, Bill Graham just received his annual flu shot this week.
Humankindness doesn’t have a how-to guide. Its practice isn’t laid out step by step. Each of us are free to express, define, and relate to humankindness in our own way. #Hellohumankindness
As a nonprofit health ministry, every day, we see the realities of health inequity. We see the lives that could have been saved with earlier intervention, we see the impact that limited access to care not only has on people, but also entire communities, and we have seen what COVID-19 has done to make this disparity even more deadly. CommonSpirit Health is taking a stand to promote social justice and advocate for health equity in our community in a virtual town hall called Humankindness Across America. CommonSpirit Health CEO Lloyd Dean leads a conversation about this incredibly important work and charts our future forward as a ministry dedicated to all we serve. We hope you’ll join in the conversation with us.
