Compassion

We will walk in the shoes of people we serve and those with whom we work. We celebrate our role in serving people and society in an area so vitally human as their health.

We will then respond in service and advocacy for each individual, each group or community as a whole.

We are accountable, reflective and open to feedback. We are true to ourselves, our professions, our consumers, our colleagues and our partners.

Respect

We value each person’s dignity. We value diversity and the rights of others. We respect the importance of quality and safety in our practice.

Innovation

We are agile, we are dynamic, we embrace change, we are constantly striving to be better. We will learn from experiences of the past and use those insights to invent a better future to make the health care environment work and serve everyone more fairly, productively and consistently.
