Whether that means building a women’s health traveling clinic to serve unserved communities across Ukraine or sending entire medical teams to serve in disaster relief zones worldwide.
It is more than a hospital when it is integrated into the community, specifically so it can close the gaps in health inequity.
It is more than a hospital when it knows that its borders are not its physical borders. When it provides remote and virtual care to health care facilities and communities across the globe.
It is more than a hospital when it combines its medical innovation with hi-tech start-ups creating new revenue streams by selling the know how so it can better subsidize care for the underserved populations.
It is more than a hospital when it enters the business of medical education so it can provide that to its entire country and abroad.
It is more than a hospital when it creates an entire new field of training – Medical Simulation – that it is now so universal that it is required as part of medical training and licensing requirements around the world.
It is more than a hospital when it takes its doctors’ knowledge and its data to create synergy that advances medicine and medical technology and patient care worldwide.
It is more than a hospital is more than a hospital when its purpose is not just to care for patients but to unite healthcare across social boundaries – because healthcare is above borders.”
