(ABP) -- What distinguishes religiously affiliated hospitals from their secular counterparts? Chaplains and charity care top the list, administrators of faith-based, nonprofit healthcare institutions agree.
“Every morning at 5 a.m., a chaplain goes into our surgical unit, where he has the opportunity to encourage patients who are facing surgery and offer them the opportunity for prayer. You don’t find that in every hospital in America,” said Glenn Robinson, president and chief executive officer of Hillcrest Health System in Waco, Texas. Hillcrest is a Baptist institution.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (ABP) -- A man fitting the description of a suspect who shot and fatally wounded the chairman of the Arkansas Democratic Party Aug. 13 menaced employees at the nearby Arkansas Baptist State Convention headquarters shortly thereafter.
“A middle-aged white man in a white shirt entered our building at 525 West Capitol [Avenue] with a gun,” said Dan Jordan, the convention’s business manager. “The operator recognized immediately there was a threat. We have a process in place where she called the building manager immediately to respond.”
