The organization is based upon Catholic ideologies. This can be seen throughout the history of the organization. The organization began with the Sisters of Mercy as being founded by Catherin McAuley("Dignity Beginnings," 2015) which can be found throughout the naming of the various buildings within the company. In 1854, eight Sisters of Mercy moved from Ireland to San Francisco to care for the residents who were experiencing an outbreak of cholera, typhoid, and influenza("Dignity Beginnings," 2015). They founded Saint Mary™s which is the oldest hospital that is still operating today ("Dignity Beginnings," 2015). The organization expanded to the point where changes needed to be made. In 1986, two of the various congregations of the Sisters of Mercy joined and formed what became Catholic Healthcare West ("Our history," 2016). Since that time other non-catholic hospitals have joined us which is what caused Catholic Healthcare West to change its name to Dignity Health ("Our history," 2016). This took place in 2012 to help everyone have an understanding as to what the organization was about. In other words, Dignity means showing respect for all people by providing excellent care and helping them lead healthy, meaningful lives ("Our history," 2016, para. 4). I selected this organization because it is rooted in. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . .
