    What an honor it is to be a charter member of the Healing Hospital Network. I am proud to announce that our hospital: Mercy Gilbert Medical Center is now three weeks old and we are growing each and every day. We are so proud of the culture that has been started at our new beautiful hospital thanks to Erie and his book Radical Loving Care. Each member of our leadership team has received a copy of the book and we review a chapter each and every month. Included with the chapter review are shared ideas on how we can instill this culture into our every day work. We had 430 new employees gathered under a huge circus tent for their orientation that was started with the video titled: Sacred Work. There was not a dry eye in the crowd and everyone commented that the video reminded them of why they went into healthcare. As we progress, I will share more stories of our loving environment and the patient experiences.
