Administrators participate in the Church's healing mission as they participate in the Catholic health care organization's ministry to the sick. ⋯ Ministry with the sponsoring religious institute. Acting on behalf of the sponsor, administrators must make certain that they act with compassion and love and that their decisions are consistent with the institute's mission and philosophy.
