St. Luke’s Health Spreads “Hello Humankindness” During Be Kind to Humankind Week Aug 25-31
Humankindness is a central component to the brand of St. Luke’s Health; as we aim to treat patients with the utmost dignity and respect – treating them as individuals and not as just a number.
In a world that often feels divided, the simple act of kindness can have a profound impact. That’s why St. Luke’s Health is proud to celebrate Be Kind to Humankind Week (August 25-31), reinforcing our commitment to our core value of “Hello Humankindness.”
At St. Luke’s Health, “Hello Humankindness” isn’t just a tagline; it’s the foundation of everything we do. It’s about providing exceptional medical care with empathy, fostering genuine connections with our patients and community, and recognizing the inherent worth of every individual.
A few fun facts about kindness:
- Kindness is contagious, literally! Studies have shown that witnessing an act of kindness can inspire others to be kinder themselves, creating a ripple effect. It’s like a social “virus” we actually want to spread.
- Kindness can boost your immune system. Acts of kindness release oxytocin, a hormone that helps lower blood pressure and improve your heart health. This, in turn, can strengthen your immune system.
- Kindness can reduce stress. When you’re feeling stressed, performing an act of kindness can help shift your focus and reduce feelings of anxiety.
