520 |a Changes in Catholic health care over the past few decades might cause some to question if Catholic hospitals can maintain their Catholic identity. Cultural, economic, and legal pressures have made this endeavor difficult. With the aid of virtue theory, three factors show it is still possible. First, Catholic identity is not narrowly limited to a couple of aspects but encompasses numerous elements of equal importance. Second, the expression of Catholic identity has changed over the years as Catholic hospitals adapt to changes within both the Church and health care. Third, Catholic hospitals go to great lengths to integrate Catholic identity into clinical and organizational decisions and to assess their efforts. Virtue theory views implementing Catholic identity as a never-ending process of continual improvement. It embraces adaptation to new environments in a way that does not compromise one's core character and constantly calls us to renew and live out our values as individuals and as Catholic healthcare professionals.
