Learn About Bon Secours'
Spiritual Care Partners Program
 | |
Bon Secours Richmond's Spiritual Care Partners team has made a difference in patients' lives.
|
The challenge of meeting patients' spiritual needs in the ever-changing environment of health care inspired the Bon Secours Richmond Pastoral Care department to explore innovative approaches to ministry.
With this challenge in sight, the Spiritual Care Partners program was launched in the fall of 2013. Spiritual Care Partners is an intensive training program that in the past year and a half has trained 25 volunteers to provide spiritual care to hospitalized patients.

In Her Own Words
 | Dr. Yvette
Johnson-Threat
CMO, Richmond Community Hospital |
"Studies have shown that patients can have better outcomes when they are cared for by persons with similar backgrounds to their own. Diversity and inclusion allow us to provide care that is patient centered and responsive to the needs of all populations --- we are better together. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said: 'An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.' We in Bon Secours commit ourselves to providing care for all people."

Get Ready, Get Set, Save!
It's America Saves Week (Feb. 23-28). The week is a national effort to promote good savings and provides an opportunity to assess your own savings status --- especially as it relates to saving for retirement. Experts tell us if you are already saving, whether for retirement or another goal, keep going! If you're not saving, it's time to get started.
 Take the opportunity during America Saves Week to learn more about the Bon Secours Retirement Savings Plan, administered by Fidelity Investments, to help you prepare for your future financial needs.
In honor of America Saves Week Fidelity is offering financial webinars to help you learn more. Two of these workshops are:
|
Designing Your Financial Roadmap, Wednesday, Feb. 25, 8 p.m.
| |
Preparing Your Savings for Retirement, Friday, Feb. 27, 2 p.m.
|
To enroll or view other available workshops, log into webworkshops.fidelity.com.
While experts say participation in your employer retirement savings plan is one of the best ways to save only 50 percent of Bon Secours employees elect to contribute.
Call Fidelity Investments at 800-343-0860 or schedule an appointment with a Fidelity Investment Guidance Consultant at getguidance.fidelity.com to learn more.
