The Mission of the Saint Luke
Society of South Florida is to provide a forum for spiritual discussion, and
to
offer guidance and support to our patients and fellow physicians. Philosophy Statement
Saint Luke, the patron saint of physicians wrote the Gospel
of Luke, which emphasized ministering to the poor, opening God’s kingdom to
all, respecting life, and conveying God’s mercy to everyone. Scripture
describes him as both a "beloved" and "loyal" physician.
We are healthcare providers of all denominations, who are committed to the teachings
of
Christ, and as members of this Society, we pledge to:
- Advocate the "healthcare ministry" of Saint Luke
for our patients;
- Sponsor an Annual Bioethics Forum based
upon Judeo-Christian principles;
-
Reach out to the healthcare needs of the poor;
-
Treat all patients respectfully, regardless of religion or culture;
-
Minister to each other, especially any colleagues in need;
-
Celebrate an annual White Mass to honor the spirit of St. Luke;
and
-
Seek the counsel and guidance of the Ordinary of the Archdiocese of Miami
