As we work together to carry out our mission, the patient comes first. We see all members of the healthcare team as equally important as we follow these five Patient FIRST Values:
F |
Focus |
Our focus at all times is service to our patients and to the community. We believe that compassionate service focuses on the individual’s basic needs for respect, confidentiality, dignity, privacy and understanding. |
I |
Integrity |
We believe in high standards of ethical and professional conduct that are reflected in our working relationships through personal responsibility, honesty, fairness, loyalty and integrity. |
R |
Resourcefulness |
We believe that resourcefulness is a hallmark of managerial and clinical excellence. We encourage and recognize innovation and the implementation of appropriate ideas at all levels in our organization. |
S |
Stewardship |
We believe that stewardship is essential in managing available resources in a fiscally-sound manner, while understanding that special considerations are necessary for the needy and disadvantaged. Therefore, we are committed to being a financially- viable organization to assure long-term service to our community. |
T |
Teamwork |
We believe in individuals and departments working cooperatively as a mutually-supportive team with trust, commitment and a sense of humor. |
