Our Operating Philosophy

Our operating philosophy revolves around five pillars.  These are our guiding lights as we set goals and make decisions.  They establish our priorities while helping us to achieve balance.  Most importantly, they help ensure we all know that quality and culture, service and finance are not separate concepts distinct from each other, but are all vital for success.

Our five pillars are:

  • Quality – Passionately committed to providing the highest possible quality of care (right care, right time, right setting);  Providing the tools and training that helps our caregivers follow best practices as shown through evidence-based medicine.
  • Service –Dedicated to exceeding the expectations of all we serve, and achieving continuously high customer satisfaction feedback.
  • People – Committed to collaborating with all constituents, empowering those who deliver the care and those who lead the people and processes;  Our de-centralized operations model allows our local leaders to do what they do best, while relying on corporate staff for resources, support and counsel.
  • Growth – With solid financial strength, providing the resources that enable our hospitals to purchase new technologies, add services and recruit physicians to broaden the scope and quality of care; strengthening our relationships with physicians, recruiting strategically to meet community needs, and partnering to align incentives.
  • Finance – Focused on good stewardship of all we have;  Together leveraging our experience, shared wisdom and size to identify best practices and create efficiencies.
