The hospital is still Catholic, under the control of the diocese as far as faith, morals et al. with regards to abortion and other life issues but the diocese shares the financial cost of operating the hospital with the UPMC system. <br /><br />Here is UPMC Mercy's values: <br /><br />UPMC Mercy carries out its mission through a commitment to these core values:<br /><br />Reverence for each person <br />We believe that each person is a manifestation of the sacredness of human life.<br /><br />Community <br />We demonstrate our connectedness to each other through inclusive and compassionate relationships.<br /><br />Justice <br />We advocate for a society where all can realize their full potential and achieve the common good.<br /><br />Commitment to those who are poor <br />We give priority to those whom society ignores. <br /><br />Stewardship <br />We care for and strengthen the ministry and all resources entrusted to us.<br /><br />Courage <br />We dare to take the risks our faith demands of us.<br /><br />Integrity <br />We keep our word and are faithful to who we say we are.<br /><br />The history of the hospital is on this site: http://www.upmc.com/HospitalsFacilities/Hospitals/Mercy/about/Pages/mission-and-history.aspxTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908173926196232573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879692069109036157.post-7271720565983394222011-04-08T01:33:58.482-07:002011-04-08T01:33:58.482-07:00P.S., Teresa, I am not joking around here.

I have very real-world experience in this subject matter.<br /><br />I am dead serious about contacting your local Catholic Diocese on this if you do not know how to answer as healthcare, as you know, is a very touchy and current issue.<br /><br />Please feel free to forward your post with my question(s) to them. I am quite sure your reader's would appreciate it too.Christopher - Conservative Perspectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102651466203156040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879692069109036157.post-89397954219581330272011-04-08T01:23:23.092-07:002011-04-08T01:23:23.092-07:00Well being basically all things officially Catholi...Well being basically all things officially Catholic (Vatican wise) in any given area are run by the local Diocese be they Churches, schools, hospitals and alike I was wondering exactly where, again, they come into the equation of what was the topic?<br /><br />It is fine to speak about what "meaning's" and "word's" are, but I am inquiring about how Catholicism puts those word's and meaning into action.<br /><br />Being all things are local in anybodies case, this brings me back to the local Catholic Diocese and just how the powers that be at that level put these word's and meaning's into action?<br /><br />I hope that cleared up my question / inquiry.<br /><br />Please feel free to contact your local Diocese for an answer if you do not know as I would appreciate that as well.Christopher - Conservative Perspectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14102651466203156040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1879692069109036157.post-68077555099795120382011-04-07T18:32:28.884-07:002011-04-07T18:32:28.884-07:00Chris,
