Input from employees, physicians and the community helped shape a promise that reflects more than just our noble ambitions – it reflects the ongoing needs of a thriving community.
We are excited and energized by our new vision, mission, values and key initiatives. These new foundations for the future are highlighted in this video above and the photos below:
These important words were carefully selected and lay our foundation for future success:
- Genuine difference is a phrase from our previous purpose statement and is a bridge from past to present. In addition, it is a tribute to all we have accomplished to date.
- Health and well-being show that we are about more than just caring for patients when they are ill or injured.
- People and communities show that we are caring for a broader group of people and not just patients who come to us when they need healthcare.
Our vision captures three important concepts which are highlighted below:
- Partner recognizes that we cannot do it alone. We will forge new partnerships and strengthen existing ones along the way.
- Inspire recognizes that we will surround people with programs and services to support their health.
- Better health recognizes that we have a role in improving health for the communities we serve.
Our values are the words we live by:
- We are caring and compassionate.
- We demonstrate respect and integrity.
- We collaborate with our patients, families, physicians and communities.
- We strive for excellence in all we do.
About Our We C.A.R.E. Philosophy
We C.A.R.E. is what we use to help keep ourselves focused on the patient. Healthcare is a complex system to work in, but we never want to lose sight of the ultimate goal: caring for the patient and their family.
We C.A.R.E. stands for:
- Welcome
- Connect with compassion
- Anticipate needs
- Respond with respect
- Ensure excellence
This acronym helps us remember the behaviors we need to live by to deliver the best possible care to every patient, every time from the moment they walk in the door and every step along the way in their care journey.
