Susanne Hartung, SP, chief mission integration officer for shared services at Providence St. Joseph Health (PSJH), is a tireless community champion. Having recently celebrated her 60 year jubilee as a Sister of Providence, her fundamental belief is: To know the poor, you have to serve the poor.
In her role at PSJH, she is responsible for integrating the Mission and core values into the everyday work and culture for more than 12,000 caregivers (all employees) from across the organization in seven states. She also serves on executive teams that are responsible for administrative initiatives. Sister Susanne is bold in her approach to ensure that the Mission – to serve the poor and vulnerable – is first and foremost in every decision at the system level.
