Good health care is in the delivery
We know medicine is more effective when it’s delivered
with what we call
humankindness
.
At Dignity Health North State, we’re constantly working
on improving our patients’ experience by treating people
with dignity, kindness, and humanity, with each and every
encounter. Whether it’s in one of our hospitals, at one of
our outpatient facilities, or even in their own home.
We are so fortunate to live in an area where humankindness is abundant—from
community members who want to make a difference to philanthropists and
volunteers who give of themselves to provide a healthy future for others. We
witness simple acts of kindness from so many people in our community—it is in
each and every one of us.
Throughout the following pages, you will see some suggestions from our Kind
Deed Checklist. We encourage you to share our commitment to spreading a little
more humankindness each and every day. Find ways you can perform your own
small acts of kindness to touch others’ lives and make the world a kinder place.
While medicine has the ability to cure, it’s our shared humanity that holds the
power to heal.
