Mark Grace is a visionary servant leader who sees diversity awareness and cultural competency as key skills in ministry and the market place. He is passionate about bringing a high level of mission integration to every patient, family and employee of my health care system. I am also devoted to equipping and developing spiritual leaders with highly effective spiritual care abilities.
He currently leads an effort to build a collaborative culture of spiritual care spanning two 100 year-old organizations and combining mission integration, professional chaplaincy, pastoral education and direct engagement with employees. Our effort is to create patient care and employee environments that nurture and mobilize faith resources in service of humane and humanitarian health care. I also champion nationally recognized efforts focusing on employee engagement with their personal sense of vocation (BSWH's Sacred Vocation Program), collaborating across disciplines to empower employee altruism (BSWH's Joel T. Allison Faith In Action Initiatives), provide humanitarian aid and medical missions locally and globally, enrich employee effectiveness in addressing patient and family spiritual needs. I lead a spiritual care education program with global and local impact on pastoral care, pastoral education, pastoral leadership and addressing humanitarian needs.
