This is a core presentation of Signature HealthCARE wherein we state our guiding principle in believing in the power of prayer and our willingness to put this into practice with everyone who wishes it. While applicable for everyone, this like all of our presentations is specifically designed for caregivers in a long-term care environment.

1. Permission to Pray
Presented by
Dianne Timmering, Signature HealthCARE
Vice President of Spirituality

2. All Are Free
“Congress shall make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free
exercise thereof.”
Employers must provide an “accommodation” for “all
aspects of religious observance and practice, as well
as belief.”
-Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
-First Amendment to the US Constitution

3. Departmental Tenets
• Founded on the emotional and spiritual healing
well of unconditional love for diverse cultures
and faiths.
• Non-proselytizing culture
• One of education and un-watered-down
spirituality, embraced by choice
• Speaking for those who cannot speak for
themselves

4. We Believe
“Perhaps most precious to our people is the collective
power of prayer--it is most simply love, one to another,
in the trenches of life when brokenness needs
the hope of someone else, where faith is sewn into
the distresses of others, lifting them up in prayer for
the bounty of healing.
At Signature, we do believe in miracles.”Dianne Timmering
Vice President of Spirituality

5. The Freedom to Be
• A signature component of the Spirituality
program is that we do not “water down”
spirituality but make available a path
specific for individual discovery while
respecting the journey of others.
• At Signature, one can choose to worship or not
to worship but has the freedom to be.
