Bon Secours Hampton Roads Health System, Inc.
NAWBO SEVA Corporate Partner since 2007
Q: Thank you for being an active partner and advocate for NAWBO SEVA. Can you tell our readers why you are so passionate about the organization?
A:Bon Secours is an organization founded by women - the Sisters of Bon Secours. Those few ladies went out to meet a need in Paris, and have created a system that touches the lives of millions of people every year. It seems that NAWBO's approach is similar- find a niche, fill it well, and make an impact!
Q: Based on your experience, what do you see as the most important thing a member or corporate partner can do to grow with NAWBO SEVA?
A: To meet new members on a regular basis.
Q: Can you describe the key business services and solutions your organization provides?
A: Bon Secours Hampton Roads Health System and its numerous facilities provide health, wellness, and prevention services to residents of Hampton Roads. Bon Secours can partner to offer unique solutions to area employers to help them reduce health care costs for their employees, and we can also work on a one-on-one basis with residents of the area to provide them with a unique health care experience.
Q: What makes Bon Secours’ services unique?
A: Bon Secours is a faith-based organization which lives by a strong set of values and abides by a stringent set of operating principles. We are here to provide "Good Help To Those In Need" and we do so by taking care of the entire person/family - mind, body and spirit. We call it "Healing the Body. Touching the Soul."
Q: Which city in Hampton Roads do you call home?
A: Louise lives in Chesapeake, Bon Secours Hampton Roads' corporate offices are in Suffolk.
Q: What do you like to do when you're not working?
A: I like to play with my 4-year old son, go to movies, work in my yard, and cook. When I find the time, I love a good game of golf or bridge.
Q: The last really great book you read that you'd like to recommend to NAWBO SEVA members and partners?
A: Blink - the Power of Thinking without Thinking, by Malcolm Gladwell
Q: Someone you admire and why?
A: Those few people whose actions and words are in harmony - the most recent one I found out about is Ed Begley, Jr. While I am not a devout environmentalist as he is, and certainly a skeptic when it comes to global warming, I certainly admire how he "does" what he preaches.
