'Ray of Light,' the musical foundation of our new Providence Health & Services video, was written and performed by Los Angeles-based commercial singer-songwriter, Christopher Faizi, composer for Mattel's recent 'Have Fun' advertising campaign. The theme is inspired by a Baha'i prayer, captures the sense of mission, quest for excellence and ecumenical spirit of our organization and rather providentially found its way into our hands through our good friends at Eyeplay, the Seattle production company responsible for capturing the moving footage of Providence life that accompanies the piece. Together, music and image gracefully combine to convey the very essence of what makes Providence a vivid demonstration of the values and excellence modern Catholic healthcare offers. Enjoy.

For the Good of The Cause
"Teamwork has become so much a part of the fabric of healthcare." "Compassion and justice, serving the community, charity, that's something one doesn't do alone. That's something that's done by a team, and being part of a team."
"For several reasons... hospice is built around a team."
"We're one of the few health systems in the nation that are using this intreventional type of team, and our results have been very good."
"Supply costs within Providence Health System, as in most healthcare organizations in the country, have been increasing five percent, seven, eight percent annually. We can't pass those cost increases on to our payers."
"...when our team is negotiating supply contracts, the power of Providence as a whole is much stronger than as individuals. And we're much stronger as a team."

Introduction
Sister Kay Belcher - "Visitors, family members come into some of our settings. They say, you know, there's something about this place... I can't quite put my finger on it. It's that what we can't put our finger on, that is what the ministry and the mission and the core values are all about."
