Reflecting on a Lifelong Principle: Stewardship of Humanity in Healthcare - Corwin N. Harper
As a seasoned healthcare executive, it is beneficial to pause and reflect on your past, assess the present, and anticipate your future “why.” Being a steward of humanity is a lifelong principle to lead from, as we are all in service to others who need healthcare services and resources.
I recently had the honor of being featured in Baylor Magazine, where I shared insights on what has guided my journey in healthcare leadership. The article, titled “The Heart Behind Healthcare”, delves into the values, challenges, and opportunities that have shaped my career and my commitment to making a difference in the lives of those we serve.
Throughout my career, I have remained steadfast in my belief that healthcare is more than a profession — it is a calling. It requires empathy, resilience, and a deep understanding of the needs of diverse communities. In the Baylor Magazine piece, I had the privilege of discussing the importance of leading with purpose, fostering innovation, and creating pathways to equitable care.
As leaders, our responsibility is not only to manage systems and resources but to inspire teams to see their work as a vital contribution to humanity’s well-being. In moments of challenge or uncertainty, revisiting our “why” helps us remain grounded and focused on the bigger picture.
This feature is a testament to the incredible work being done by healthcare professionals across the country and the potential for transformative impact when we lead with compassion and vision.
I encourage my colleagues, peers, and aspiring leaders to read the article and reflect on your journeys. Together, we can continue to advance healthcare in ways that honor the trust and needs of those we serve.

Let’s continue to lead with humanity, purpose, and unwavering dedication.
