Through the years, Sacred Stories have been used for personal reflection; to begin or end a workday; or to start a meeting by acknowledging the presence of God. Sacred Stories tell of moments of God’s divine presence in our workplace, written by our employees and medical staff members – moments that could be fleeting except for the fact that they are courageously recorded and preserved in these stories. Our hope is for these stories to inspire reflection in all and to encourage new authors to record their heightened awareness of spirituality at work. 

You'll notice each story is prefaced by a selection of scripture or other sacred text. These words help to frame each story within the larger context of God’s presence in our world. Upon reflection, they help us understand how God can choose to act through us.

Each story is followed by one or more questions that invite individual exploration or group discussion, leading to deeper understanding. We hope this structured reflection process can help to expand our understanding of God’s presence and the importance of spirituality in our workplace. 

Good things don’t just happen. At CHI we believe our mission and spiritual calling requires us to promote what we believe is right. There are people in every community we serve who need our attention, advocacy and commitment. We make serving their needs a priority in our work and a continuous beacon of our shared humanity.

The CHI Foundation is working to transform health care and create healthier communities across the country. Through the foundation, we raise money to support our national and local efforts in research and innovation, virtual health care, and violence prevention.

We are on a mission to create a healthier place for us all to live. The purpose of this fund is to provide resources for the planning, development and implementation of new healthy community initiatives. Grants are awarded annually for proposals with a focus on creating healthy communities, violence prevention and promoting CHI’s global health projects. The Mission and Ministry Fund is a hallmark of our spirit of innovation and dedication to creating a better world.
