The Mission Statement of a Catholic Non-profit hospital that is in the news

for refusing cancer surgery on a patient due to money:

Our Mission
We extend the compassionate ministry of Jesus by improving the health and well-being of our communities and bring good help to those in need, especially people who are poor, dying and underserved.

Our Values
Human Dignity — we commit to uphold the sacredness of life and to be respectful and inclusive of everyone.
Integrity — we commit to act ethically and to model right relationships in all of our individual and organizational encounters.
Compassion — we commit to accompany those we serve with mercy and tenderness, recognizing that “being with” is as important as “doing for.”
Stewardship — we commit to promote the responsible use of all human and financial resources, including Earth itself.
Service — we commit to provide the highest quality in every dimension of our ministry.

is all about Supply Side Jesus...if you don't have the cash, you don't get, well, anything.

It's all about the money and those who run religious non-profits tend to gain a whole lot of wealth.

That's just religious boilerplate.
