The Sisters of Charity Health System, Lewiston, ME, a member of Covenant Health Systems, Lexington, MA, remains deeply committed to the mission of service begun by its foundress, St. Marguerite d'Youville. Although St. Marguerite experienced a hard life, her resilience and her commitment to the poor and disadvantaged serve as an inspiration to those who continue her legacy of compassionate care. The founding work of St. Marguerite and the sisters has helped to foster a culture in which the mission of service thrives among the system's 2,000 employees. This culture can be attributed to two things: the system's organizational values of compassion, stewardship, respect, and excellence; and the recognition of those employees whose work embodies these values. From the boardroom to the patient room, mission is integrated into each decision and action. Every two years, each of Covenant Health System's member facilities engages in a mission assessment process that examines various aspects of mission, including Catholic identity, holistic care, care for the poor, mission values integration, ethics and employee relations. In addition, the Sisters of Charity Health System's board has its own standing Mission and Community Committee, which looks strategically at how creatively and faithfully the system is continuing to live its mission.
缅因州刘易斯顿的慈善姐妹健康系统是马萨诸塞州列克星敦圣约健康系统的成员，该系统仍然坚定地致力于其创始人圣玛格丽特·迪尤维尔开创的服务使命。尽管圣玛格丽特一生艰难，但她的坚韧以及对穷人和弱势群体的奉献精神激励着那些延续她富有同情心的护理遗产的人们。圣玛格丽特和姐妹们的奠基工作有助于培育一种文化，在这种文化中，服务使命在该系统的2000名员工中蓬勃发展。这种文化可归因于两件事：该系统富有同情心、管理、尊重和卓越的组织价值观；以及对那些工作体现这些价值观的员工的认可。从董事会到病房，使命融入每一个决策和行动中。每两年，圣约健康系统的每个成员机构都会参与一次使命评估过程，该过程会审视使命的各个方面，包括天主教身份、整体护理、对穷人的关怀、使命价值观的融合、道德规范和员工关系。此外，慈善姐妹健康系统的董事会有自己常设的使命与社区委员会，该委员会从战略角度审视该系统如何创造性且忠实地继续践行其使命。
