Mission: Community health services - st. Dominic, inc. (chs) recognizes its basic participation in the mission of the church, which involves two main ministries: education and health care. Three activities-communicating a christian message, establishing community and performing service-express our mission of christian healing. Caring for the sick, the injured, and the dying is a visible, public continuation of christ's healing ministry. Promoting the well being of individuals and the community are additional signs of chs' commitment to the common good. Just as jesus came to make his father known and loved, so we, through works of mercy, seek to extend this mission.
