Our Mission:
To reveal and embody Christ's healing love for all people through our high quality Franciscan health care ministry.
Vision:
Rooted in our Franciscan Mission, we will be the unique, high quality Health System providing exceptional care, centered on the whole person.
Values:
RESPECT means the Franciscan respect for life from conception to natural death and for the dignity of each individual person. Respect is a commitment to freeing and empowering each person to develop his or her full potential.
CARE embodies the concern, compassion, and sensitivity with which we care for patients as individuals on a one-to-one basis. It depicts our way of dealing with patients, clients, and colleagues. Many times, it is thought of as bedside behavior, but it also belongs in administrative offices, cafeterias, and boardrooms.
COMPETENCE means that our work is performed and our institutions are managed with the highest level of skill and ability. We are committed to recruiting and developing people who are competent in their work and whose values reflect our own. Our values are an integral part of our System's Strategic Plan, which provides the overall framework for our local activities.
JOY is the manner in which our colleagues and all who join us in our ministry seek to perform their work -- the internal fulfillment of caring for others. It is an essential ingredient in bring a sense of hope to those who suffer.
