Coming together as a team, let's take a moment to pause (10 secs), and let's begin with a quote from...
Romans 15:14- "I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and competent to instruct one another."
And from...
Saint Francis de Sales- "Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset."
These quotes show the value of Accessibility. Accessibility is a great way to live Excellence, making it real in our lives today! So, as we reflect today, let's refresh our memories on the meaning of Excellence, and take a closer look at how Accessibility brings it to life.

Did you know that nurses in the ICU refer to a Certified Nursing Assistant from CHRISTUS Spohn Shorline, as the one person they cannot live without due to the family environment she creates?

Heavenly Father, So much of what happens can be hard to understand, especially in a time of stress. Thank you for being close to me and giving me the simple words I need to support those in my care. Amen.
