About the Center
Among the most challenging issues facing Catholic health care organizations today is the preparation of new leaders. In the past, mission leadership was seen as one facet of Catholic health care among many, with a member of the founding religious order or a formal ‘Mission Leader’ at its helm. Today, all health care leaders are called to embrace and live out the mission of the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. The Ashley-O’Rourke (AOR) Center exists to respond to this challenge.
The singular focus of the Ashley-O'Rourke Center is to provide a Catholic theological education for current and future leaders in the ministry of Catholic health care.
Drawing on our legacy as innovators in the field of Catholic health care ethics and our strengths as a theological school rooted in the Dominican intellectual tradition of study, the AOR Center offers resources to equip all people—ministers, health care practitioners, chaplains, academics, executives, board members, and sponsors—to carry out the mission of Catholic health care. We do this through our graduate programs, through collaborative and interdisciplinary conferences and programming, and through our partnerships with the Catholic Health Association and Catholic health care organizations across the United States.
