Ethos
As is evident from its name and the vision statement, CMC Vellore is a hospital drawing its inspiration from the example of Jesus Christ and seeking to model its values, priorities and activities on his life and healing ministry. All patients are welcomed and treated without regard to their faith, caste or other status. The staff represents a variety of faiths and each individual's beliefs are treated with respect. A large Chaplaincy Department serves patients, staff and students providing spiritual counsel and support and organising worship services in many languages.

Famous quotes containing the word ethos:
“Reading more than life teaches us to recognize ethos and pathos.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Take the serious side of Disney, the Confucian side of Disney. It’s in having taken an ethos ... where you have the values of courage and tenderness asserted in a way that everybody can understand. You have got an absolute genius there. You have got a greater correlation of nature than you have had since the time of Alexander the Great.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
