This paper will examine the topic of identity in Roman Catholicism from the perspective of topics contained in or absent from mission statements of 25 Catholic health care institutions. In particular, I will look at these from the perspective of social justice as well as how this and other topics such as human dignity, sanctity of life, stewardship, pastoral care and the likelihood of mergers with other institutions will affect the healing ministry of Catholic health care providers. The article will conclude that there are three key dimensions to Catholic health care: leadership in advocating reform of the current health care system, care for the marginalized and under-insured, and the provision of pastoral care in all institutions.
本文将从25家天主教医疗机构的使命宣言所包含或未包含的主题角度，审视罗马天主教中的身份认同这一主题。具体而言，我将从社会正义的角度审视这些主题，以及这一主题和其他主题，如人的尊严、生命的神圣性、管理、牧灵关怀以及与其他机构合并的可能性，将如何影响天主教医疗服务提供者的治疗事工。文章将得出结论，天主教医疗保健有三个关键层面：倡导改革当前医疗保健系统的领导力、关爱边缘化和保险不足者，以及在所有机构中提供牧灵关怀。
