Re: “Windfall Yakima: ‘Tragic Story’ ” [March 10, Northwest Voices] and “Decay of moral management is obvious as Windfall gouges the weak” [Feb. 18, Opinion]:
There was a lot in these pages concerning the Sisters of Windfall and the way we should always really feel about Windfall St. Joseph Well being.
After we transitioned to each Sisters and lay management in 2010, we knew that leaders would face powerful selections, as now we have for practically 200 years. To information them, we established new governance for sponsors and our board of administrators, and outlined expectations in a proper doc to make sure our leaders proceed to be a voice for and a servant to those that are poor or weak. We’re assured that new governance has stored management accountable to fulfilling our mission aligned with our values.
We serve many alternative communities in the present day than we did after we based our ministries. A reader wrote about our hospital in Yakima, an instance of a tough resolution made years in the past — nicely earlier than the time of present CEO Rod Hochman, M.D. That call was made after an extended moral discernment, a course of the present management workforce follows in our custom.
Dr. Hochman and the workforce maintain our mission on the coronary heart of their work.
