During his working hours as medical director of the Urologic Oncology Program at Cedars Sinai Hospital, Dr. Edwin Posadas keeps a small cross pinned to his coat, an indicator of his Catholic faith for patients to see.
“It’s as much for them as it is a reminder to me about what’s important,” Posadas said.
The importance of the healing of the spirit — not just the body — is what Catholic health care professionals like Posadas gather to celebrate at the annual Healthcare Professionals Mass every October.
