Seton Case Study Of Social Care

347 Words2 Pages

Seton's Healthcare Family Mission is to "improve the health of those we serve with special concern for the poor and vulnerable. We are called to be a sign of God’s unconditional love for all and believe that all persons by their creation are endowed with dignity" (Seton, 2015).
