Can our humanity
save humanity?
It’s a human truth: Tragedy brings us together. After an earthquake
or flood, we forget our incidental differences and act for each other in
ways we don’t on a day-to-day basis. Our skin color, gender, sexual
orientation, and politics fall to the wayside. Our reflex to care kicks in
and becomes unstoppable. But can we come together without a crisis?
Every day in our communities, research validates what we’ve all intuitively
felt: simple humankindness—real, genuine connection—heals us
from the inside out. Even those who care for our patients have noticed
the health benefits circling back. And we each carry this power.
What if each of us could reach out in our own lives to help someone
new? To offer a meal, or a shoulder? What would happen on a larger
scale? How many of us would it take to turn the tide?
So I ask you, as I ask myself, our entire organization, and community
leaders—could we actually change the world? This is bigger than health
care. So let’s unite and see what our collective humankindness can do.
Let’s try. It would be inhuman not to.
Lloyd H. Dean
President/CEO of Dignity Health
