Values

Normally you will see Mission, Vision, and Values all together. We decided to give our Values section it's very own tab. Words like Loyalty, Accountability, Compassion, and Honesty come to mind. The "Why" of what we do is so important as it shapes our culture and by extension everything we do with patient care. Care being the operative word in that last sentence.  Ultimately what it boils down to, is that we are called upon to provide excellent care for patients on possibly the worst day of their lives. It may seem routine to us, but to them, we are their source of answers and comfort. We have to arrive at the patient's side ready to perform at our best. It isn't about how well we can start an IV, or read an EKG strip, or memorize a medication dose. Those things are very important, but ultimately we have to care and that feeling needs to get from our heart to the patient in no uncertain terms. It guides everything that we do. It is my job as an Administrator to make sure that the crews have everything they need to be successful in this endeavor. - Matt Bowen
