In 1918, Santa Rosa became the first hospital in Texas to devote a separate unit for the care of crippled children. In 1930, five years before it became the first Texas hospital to install air conditioning, the Santa Rosa Infirmary was renamed Santa Rosa Hospital.
Gradually, the concept of a complete system of health care began to emerge. In effect, the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word pioneered the idea of a total system of medical care that would offer the latest preventative, diagnostic and treatment facilities to care for the mind, body and spirit of all the inhabitants of San Antonio and South Texas. To this end, the Sisters opened a children's hospital in 1959. CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Children's Hospital is dedicated to the treatment of children who suffer from chronic illnesses and cancer. With a solid base of acute hospitals for children and adults, specialty centers and technological advances began to rapidly increase.
Today, the people of CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Health Care reach out to the people of San Antonio with new medical technology and high standards of excellence, a mission of caring is planted firmly in the efforts of the founding Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word. They remain the only Catholic faith-based, non-profit health care system in San Antonio and New Braunfels ("About Us", 2015).

Our company has a moral obligation to keep our customers safe. The code of ethics within our company is to be honest and provide protection to the children who play with our products. The overall cost to our company is how big of a risk are we willing to take. Our company needs to decide if business growth and profit is more important than the risk we would be taking in delivering those toys to children.

The case focuses on the charity program of Sunrise Hospital. The hospital recognizes charity healthcare in the form of bad debts and other services that are offered for free. The process has been faced with some issues, and these issues have halted the organization role of delivering charitable care to low-income people. However, this paper is going to analyze the case.

In September of 2012, beginning in the country of Saudi Arabia, hospitals began seeing increased cases of a respiratory virus never before seen in humans. They named it Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS. MERS is a viral respiratory illness caused by the coronavirus. It was originally thought to have started there in Saudi Arabia. It was not until later that they were able to trace the origin back to Jordan starting in April of 2012. All outbreaks of MERS have been traced back to originating from the Arabian Peninsula (CDC, 2015a). Unfortunately, it is not known exactly how MERS was contracted in humans, but it is believed to have come from an animal source, probably from camels. Strains of MERS
Nestled in Southern Indiana just west of Louisville, Kentucky and south of Indianapolis, Indiana is Dubois County, Indiana. Dubois County is comprised of the towns of Birdseye, Ferdinand, Holland, Huntingburg and Jasper. Of those towns, Jasper is the largest and is the county seat (Kelly School of Business, 2014).

St. Andrews was a small not-for-profit home health and hospice organization operated out of southern California many years ago. Religious based, the organization primarily served the uninsured, and homeless populations. Working closely with the county health department and social service agencies, all of those referred who needed help received care. It did not matter where the patient lived, whether on the street or in a traditional structure, no one who truly wanted care was turned away due to inability to pay.
Magnolia Regional Medical Center is based upon a mezzo level. The hospital target social problems of the patients, and finance. Within the community, emergency clients in the hospital serves the biggest social problem. Medical Assistance Program provides financial assistance to those in need. When people are admitted to the emergency room the hospital provides assistance without insurance to low-income families or anyone in need. Providing health care without insurance places a burden on the hospital because if the person becomes admitted from the emergency room to inpatient they cannot receive funds from insurance companies. The hospital pays for treatment, surgery, or whatever the person may need. For example, if a person enters
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is a non-profit organization that helps battle pediatric cancers. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is not your typical children’s hospital. The services and support they provide to their patients is unique as their founder Danny Thomas. I will explore their founder’s history, mission, and how they are able to continue the work today.
Medicine and health sciences are the results of attempts to cure diseases and slow death, but in the beginning of medical research a lot of it was the result of curiosity and a desire to understand how the human body works; what makes us human. In Colonial America, the practice of medicine was more of a philosophy than a true science. Medicine in the beginning of the American settlements was compounded because of disease, poor sanitation, lack of medical knowledge and conflict between the church and physicians. But the real growth of medical knowledge and wanting to know more about the human body and how to heal it began around the early 1820s.
The religious healthcare is an organization working in an areas where the population is 225, 000. Though it is a non-profit making organization, the major objective is to ensure that it provides high quality services t the people and community around it. In this regard therefore, my analyses will focus on providing areas that need to be improved to ensure that high quality services are offered to its target people. Whether, the health care organization makes profit or note, providing standardized services is of paramount importance.
The second Texas institution opened by the Daughters of Charity was in El Paso, a “frontier town” of only a few thousand residents, when three Daughters of Charity arrived on February 3, 1892. The day the history of nursing in El Paso will always look back to.(TSHAonline.org) These ladies saw a vision to care for the sick that could not be cared for in El Paso. The Charity created the first emergence center to go too, and formed our medical programs and helped lay a foundation to grow on. With the help of the citizens of El Paso the Daughters of Charity opened up “Hotel Dieu” the oldest and most renown hotel. Due to its central location, it was named after a hospital in Paris and built El Paso’s name for their great nursing program. After closing their doors in December 5, 1987, Hotel Dieu, passed down its views on medicine to UTEP. It allowed the university to uphold the reputation for having one of the best nursing programs in Texas. From 1892 until 2016, the school of nursing has adapted to the changes in technologies and surgeries advancing in the field of medicine,therefore impacting all El Pasoans lives who need medical attention.
The first Catholic Hospital established in this country was almost certainly, Sisters Hospital. Originally a three-room log cabin, located in St. Louis Missouri, it became operational around 1828 when Irish millionaire, John Mullanphy, donated the land and funds needed to establish this health center. A Sister of Charity, Mother Angela Hughes, served for a small time period at Mullanphy’s hospital but later found herself in New York to discover another early hospital, St. Vincent’s. Besides the Sisters of Charity’s five hospitals, other nursing congregations and their hospitals included the Sisters of Mercy in Pittsburgh, the Sisters of St. Joseph in Philadelphia, and the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in both states of Kentucky and Tennessee. The number of Catholic Hospitals flourished from 75 in 1872 to nearly 400 by the year 1910. This remarkable increase corresponded with the growth of hospitals, in general. Motivated by the advances in medical science, the missionaries that founded and staffed these institutions, also initiated several nursing schools, thereby prompting the preparation of countless medical practitioners and many more morally based hospitals that are still existent to this
Sister Bernadine Gutowski is one of a few nuns that belong to the Third Order of St Francis. She works as a secretary within the Hospital Sisters Health Systems (HSHS) and recently discussed with me the history of our organization and the changes it has endured. HSHS was originally ran by a group of nuns that belonged to the Third Order of St. Francis in 1875. At that time, they began serving the community by nursing sick and poor people within their homes. Since then they have expanded their health
