Season 2, Episode 2: Mission in Action

What does Marywood’s mission look like in action, and what does it have to do with healthcare?

In this episode of Inside Marywood Health Sciences, host Samantha Miko sits down with Sr. Rachel Terry, IHM, Director of Campus Ministry, for a conversation about mission, service, compassion, community, and caring for the whole person.

Sr. Rachel shares her own journey to Marywood and gives listeners a closer look at the many ways Campus Ministry supports students, faculty, and staff. Together, they explore how Marywood’s values extend beyond the classroom and into the work our students will one day do as healthcare professionals.

From developing empathy and compassion to navigating stress, grief, and challenging moments, this conversation reminds us that healthcare is about more than clinical knowledge—it’s about caring for people with dignity, respect, and humanity.

Plus, hear about the retreats, service opportunities, faith experiences, and community-building programs available through Campus Ministry, and why you don’t have to belong to a particular faith tradition to find a place there.
