Sponsors at the Vatican Report on Health System

Sponsors and executives of the Providence St. Joseph Health System recently made their official visit to the Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life at the Vatican to report on the state of the system and their stewardship of the ministry.
