The Catholic Social Teaching principle of solidarity maintains an important role in guiding health care professionals rooted in the Catholic faith as they search for ways to provide equal care for all people. Solidarity, in the words of Pope Benedict XVI, “refers to the virtue enabling the human family to share fully the treasure of material and spiritual goods,” which, as Pope John Paul II states, requires “a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good,” In other words, we have a duty to one another to ensure that everyone can fully thrive on Earth, and we must act selflessly to work towards that goal. The nature of healthcare, therefore, mandates that solidarity be a key virtue of health care providers, regardless of religious affiliation or beliefs. Health care providers take an oath containing principles such as justice, integrity, and respect for human life as they commit to a career focused solely on serving others. In doing so, they promise to dedicate their lives to providing equal service to all members of their community. However, there requires greater commitment towards the principle of solidarity in order to enact change in the structure of our health care system to be more inclusive towards all of our community members. Individual physicians utilizing the principle of solidarity is wonderful, but it is not enough to truly stand in solidarity with those members of our community who have systematically been put at a disadvantage in health care access. Thus, every aspect of health care requires actions rooted in solidarity from the very basic macro level structure of health care to the one-on-one patient-health care provider interactions. Despite the clear necessity of the presence of solidarity in health care, there are still many ways in which our health care system fails to embody this principle. The unfortunate statistics demonstrate that our health care system does not serve all members of our community equally. The New York Times states that “Black infants in America are now more than twice as likely to die as White infants” and “Black women are three to four times as likely to die from pregnancy-related causes as their white counterparts.” Furthermore, it has been shown that cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that predominantly affects White patients, receives 11 times the per-person funding of sickle cell disease, which predominantly affects Black populations, despite sickle cell being more common than cystic fibrosis. Despite testimony calling for the elimination of these health disparities, there have been no measures to counteract them, which directly violates the principle of solidarity. While there are still many ways we can work towards creating a more equal health care system at all levels, it is also important to recognize the ways in which the Catholic Social Teaching principle of solidarity is utilized in health care. A prime example of this is seen in the Maple City Health Clinic in Goshen where the focus is on the complete well-being of not only the patients but the health care providers as well. This clinic offers affordable health care with the goal of building “community across cultures,” just as CST encourages us to do. We have also seen the principle of solidarity acted upon in the improvement of medical education. While obtaining a medical education is still relatively inaccessible to many members of the community, the focus of the curriculum has shifted towards a more comprehensive and inclusive approach to treating individuals of different ethnicities and gender identities. Finally, legislative actions have been taken within the last decade to provide affordable health care to all members of our community, including the Affordable Care Act, which was designed with the goal of utilizing the principle of solidarity to ensure the health and well-being of all members of our community through taking action to improve health care access. Thus, while there is still much work to be done in our health care systems, the CST principle of solidarity has begun to lead us on the path towards greater equality in health care.
