SAN BERNARDINO>> Dignity Health’s Inland Empire hospitals which include St. Bernardine Medical Center and Community Hospital of San Bernardino, joined the Great Kindness Challenge, a nationwide kindness movement which challenges elementary, middle and high school students worldwide to complete at least 50 acts of kindness in one week. This is the fourth year Dignity Health has been the presenting sponsor of the Great Kindness Challenge. In support of this effort locally, both St. Bernardine and Community Hospital have each partnered with the San Bernardino Unified School District and Diocese of San Bernardino to bring kindness to more than 37,000 students. On Wednesday, Jan. 25, Dignity Health – St. Bernardine Medical Center hosted a kindness teddy bear clinic for third and fourth graders at Holy Rosary Academy in San Bernardino. A physician will work with students to give bears a “checkup.” Students also created get-well cards for hospital patients. On Thursday, Jan. 26, Dignity Health – Community Hospital of San Bernardino hosted a Kindness Mini Medical School with Lincoln Elementary School fifth grade students who had the opportunity to learn about specific hospital specialties, including radiology and nursing, as hospital employees and physicians discuss the role that kindness has played in their careers, successes and lives.
