Healthcare is Radical Hospitality

Healthcare is Radical Hospitality

An image of a group of ten UDM nursing students standing outside the Trinity Healthcare clinicRadical Hospitality is the intentional welcoming of those we know and those we don’t yet know into a community of belonging. In the Mercy and Jesuit traditions, we are asked to embrace the stranger as our neighbor, in the spirit of love, mercy and justice.

At UDM, one of the most significant ways we extend radical hospitality is through compassionate, patient-centered care. In the tradition of the Sisters of Mercy, our faculty and students seek to provide care that honors the dignity of each individual and meets patients where they are. The latest feature in the Mission Effectiveness Team (MET) series, “A Year in Radical Hospitality,” features one of those initiatives.

If you would like to write or propose a feature for “A Year in Radical Hospitality,” please email MET co-chairs Assistant Professor Ashlee Barnes at barnesav@udmercy.edu or Associate Professor Mary-Catherine Harrison at mc.harrison@udmercy.edu.
