Stewardship of Catholic
Healthcare Infrastructure
Building, Sustaining, and Renewing Physical Assets for the Healing Ministry
The book
Infrastructure is an entrusted responsibility.
This manuscript examines how healthcare leaders can govern, sustain, and renew physical infrastructure in support of the healing ministry. It connects facility operations and lifecycle asset management with capital stewardship, resilience, sustainability, workforce development, and emerging technologies.
The book is grounded in Catholic healthcare but offers leadership principles relevant to complex healthcare organizations more broadly.
From the foreword

Although grounded in Catholic healthcare, these principles also inform federal and other healthcare infrastructure programs.
