A Letter from Our President & CEO..........................................................................................................3 The origins of the healthcare system as we know it
are humble.
A New Welcome for Hospital Patients and Their Families............................................................. 4-5 Almost two thousand years ago during the Roman
era there was no formal healthcare for the common
person. If a person was wealthy enough to afford a
physician, a house call might be available. But if you
were a person of modest means, you were mostly on
your own.

Enter a group of passionate believers—mostly
commoners themselves—who took seriously the
call to treat everyone with compassion, to continue
the healing ministry of Jesus, to look at everyone as
bearing the image of God. They organized, sought
people suffering from diseases and illnesses and
many times visited their homes, cared for them on the
streets or brought them into their own homes. The
care was humble, mostly supportive in an era before
medical advances, but it sent a powerful message
about the dignity of all persons.
To deliver the care, they needed to Open Doors.
Open the Doors of their own homes. Walk through the
threshold of the Open Doors of the homes of those
suffering. And so the healthcare system as we know
it today had its origins by actively seeking out those
who were suffering.
This annual report describes the ways in which Pine
Rest has sought to continue this tradition of seeking
those who suffer to improve access to care. Whether
it is a new hospital facility that creates an inviting,
respectful atmosphere or the use of technology
to bring teletherapy services to those in remote
areas, the goal is the same: Open the Doors to care.
Solve the behavioral health access problem in the
communities we serve. Show hospitality.
The methods change, scientific advances bring
new hope every day to those suffering from mental
illnesses, but the compassion motivating the care
continues in a two thousand year tradition. Thank you
for your support of Pine Rest’s effort to Open Doors.
