Introduction
Catholic Medical Home is a facility whose staff is committed to improving the well-being of each center guest and helping them achieve total health. In addition, our center relies on the principles of human dignity: all guests and staff are worthy of respect (Byron). We believe that mutual respect is a fundamental principle for the relationship between medicine and the patient. Our facility relies on associations: the human being is a social being, so the community organization is highly valued by the medical center (Byron). The UN Declaration commits to respecting the person and life of every human being and no one has the moral right not to comply with it (“Universal Declaration of Human Rights”). Our staff is a family, and we are all bound by the desire to protect vulnerable populations and to show compassion and genuine support. Catholic Medical Home provides holistic care to everyone who chooses our services. Our staff knows how to listen, ask and check to achieve synergy with the patient. Our goal is not only to cure an illness but to make a person healthy, including increasing their satisfaction with life.
Catholic Medical Home’s mission is to ensure health for everyone: caring binds people together. Family, community, and participation are central concepts practiced in our institution (“Seven Themes of Catholic Social Teaching”). When performing chiropractic procedures, our staff asks not only about the well-being but also about the moral feelings of the patients: we care about every aspect of a person’s life. At the same time, our employees are family, so our counseling center is always open to them, and physician services are available. We believe that this way, we can build a healthy community where everyone trusts and cares. Solidarity and personal dignity will accompany such a community.
Guiding Principles
Medical decisions can sometimes be challenging to make because they arise in the context of dilemmas. Principles of care and help collide, and at the same time, morality and religion. Such topics often include euthanasia, suicide, and abortion, which have no proper solution. The issue of euthanasia is often of concern to any medical establishment because all recognize the existence of a disease whose suffering cannot be tolerated (Rigali and Lori). We believe that this problem may have to do with the fact that one does not fully grasp the value of life.
Catholic Christian teaching relies on principles of virtue and conscience. Catholic Medical Home relies on “honesty of moral conscience” in this matter (“Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith”). In our facility, we provide basic care and treat individuals in severe conditions with respect. If such a person’s indicators show deterioration, we have no moral right to stop even the bare minimum of care (Rigali and Lori). The Church teaches care and compassion, but if we end life (euthanasia), we violate the principles of Catholic-Christian teaching. Primary care may not help this patient, but his family will appreciate that we will take the person on his last journey with dignity (“Catechism of the Catholic Church”). Maintaining that dignity, respect for the individual, and the ability to be compassionate are our religious principles of care.
