Uplands Board of Directors are introduced to "Radical Loving Care"

Cathy Self, VP of The Baptist Healing Trust gave a two-hour presentation to the Board today on the concepts of Radical Loving Care. It was very exciting to watch the members of the Board be intrigued, curious, and supportive of a truly radical concept in the healthcare industry that is so heavily mandated by regulations and ideology of professionalism. Where do lines exists between showing love, being professional and meeting regulations?-were just a couple of questions from the Board. Cathy explained that "Radical Loving Care" does not mean we abandon the high expectation of competency, but that "Radical Loving Care" expects both high competency and high compassion. I want to thank Cathy and the Board for the deep inspiration during those two hours!
