Leaders Inspire through History
‘‘I f your actions
inspire others to
dream more, learn
more, do more and
become more, you are
a leader. ”
- John Quincy Adams
"The leadership instinct
you are born with is the
backbone. You develop the
funny bone and the wish­
bone that go with it. ”
- Elaine Agather
"Management is
doing things right;
leadership is doing
the right things. ”
- Peter F. Drucker
‘‘Great spirits have always found violent
opposition from mediocrities. The latter
cannot understand it when a man does not
thoughtlessly submit to hereditary preju­
dices but honestly and courageously uses
his intelligence. ”
- Albert Einstein
“We must become the
change we want to see. ”
- Mahatma Gandhi
‘‘Time is neutral and does not change things.
With courage and initiative, leaders change
things. ”
- Jesse Jackson
‘‘Leadership has a harder job to do than just
choose sides. It must bring sides together. ”
- Jesse Jackson
“Don't tell people how to
do things, tell them what
to do and let them sur­
prise you with their
results. ”
- George S. Patton
‘‘Leadership can be
thought o f as a capacity
to define oneself to
others in a way that
clarifies and expands a
vision o f the future. ”
- Edwin H. Friedman

We believe that everyone should enjoy
the best healthcare available
As the largest local and community-
owned nonprofit health system, Legacy
Health System takes a leading role in
raising the health status of all in our
community
In honor of Martin Luther King Jr Day,
we think it is fitting to look at the role we
play in addressing health disparities.
We support dozens of efforts aimed at
improving the health of people of racial and
ethnic diversity Such steps as:
• Helping cooks at Peninsula Children’s
Center in North Portland prevent
childhood obesity
• Partnering with the African American
Health Coalition regarding diabetes
management
• Supporting a program from Self
Enhahcement Inc. that provides
preventive dental care to youth who have
not had regular visits to dentists
• Providing a diverse workplace to reflect
the communities we serve
In addition, we provide more than
$144 million in health services to people
with limited ability to pay
