Do Justice. Love Kindness. Walk Humbly. This captures an important priority theme at Los Angeles Christian Health Centers (LACHC). It's a profound call for followers to do justice, love kindness and walk humbly with God. We believe this is core to advancing healthcare equity in Los Angeles and Skid Row. Especially now amid a challenging landscape marked by looming funding cuts and seeming shrinking federal support for safety net care for our most vulnerable neighbors.

Doing justice in healthcare means ensuring everyone has fair and equitable access to quality care, treatment, and resources, regardless of their background, while also upholding human dignity and promoting health for all. It involves addressing the underlying social, economic, and structural factors that create health inequities and requires a commitment to impartial decision-making, respectful interactions, and patient involvement in their own care

To "love kindness" in healthcare means actively embodying compassion, empathy, and respectful care towards patients, families, and colleagues, recognizing these qualities are fundamental to high-quality patient experiences and outcomes, not just superficial niceties. It involves taking the time to listen, validate feelings, and build trusting relationships by seeing patients as whole people, which can alleviate suffering, enhance recovery, and create a more supportive and humane care environment.

To "walk humbly" in healthcare means practicing with a deep awareness of one's limitations and the patient's unique experience, fostering genuine empathy, practicing honest self-assessment, and avoiding arrogance or egoism. It involves a commitment to patient-centered care, actively seeking to understand the patient's perspective, and being open to acknowledging mistakes or the limits of medical intervention. Ultimately, it's about a selfless, compassionate approach that prioritizes the patient's needs and dignity over the provider's own.

We invite you to stand with us in this important cause. Your contributions and support are vital as we navigate these challenges and build a healthier, more just future. Together, we can make a significant impact in the lives of those we serve. Thank you for considering a contribution to LACHC.
