Want to Do Good? Employees at This Healthcare Company Are United By One Thing: ‘Humankindness’

At CommonSpirit Health, their purpose is shaped by one thing — humankindness. It's what keeps them thoughtfully working together under one shared mission, and it's also what differentiates them from other healthcare spaces.

CommonSpirit is a non-profit Catholic health system aimed at advancing the health of all people and their surrounding communities, as well as for advocating for the poor and vulnerable and innovating how and where healing can happen. To achieve this, CommonSpirit relies on five core values:

1. Compassion — Care with listening, empathy and love.

2. Inclusion — Celebrate each person’s gifts and voice.

3. Integrity — Inspire trust through honesty. 

4. Excellence — Serve with fullest passion, creativity and stewardship.

5. Collaboration — Commit to the power of working together. 

The employees at CommonSpirit are talented and passionate people who exemplify these values every day. And, the emphasis on humankindness doesn't stop at CommonSpirit either!  CommonSpirit Health, in alignment with three other companies, aims to make the world a better place:

• Dignity Health: A California-based nonprofit public-benefit corporation that operates hospitals and ancillary care facilities at more than 40 hospitals and care centers across California, Arizona and Nevada.

• CHI: A nonprofit, faith-based health system formed in 1996 through the consolidation of four Catholic health systems and is currently one of the largest nonprofit health systems in the U.S.

• MercyOne: A system of hospitals, clinics and healthcare facilities in Iowa, Nebraska and surrounding communities.
