OUR VISION IS A COMMUNITY THAT EMBRACES SPECIALIZED CARE AT THE END OF LIFE WITH THE SAME IMPORTANCE THAT IS GIVEN AT THE BEGINNING OF LIFE. OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES ARE SERVICE - TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF OUR PATIENTS/FAMILIES, COMMUNITY, AND EACH OTHER; COMPASSION - TO CONSISTENTLY DEMONSTRATE THE ABILITY TO ENGAGE WITH THE COMMUNITY AND PROVIDE COMFORT AND SOLACE WHEN NEEDED; EXCELLENCE - TO STRIVE FOR SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE IN THE PROVISION OF CARE; WE RECOGNIZE THAT EXCELLENCE DOES NOT EQUAL PERFECTION; INCLUSION - TO CELEBRATE THE MANY DIFFERENCES, INCLUDING RACE, ETHNICITY, GENDER, AGE, SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS, NATIONAL ORIGIN, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, DISABILITY, AND RELIGION THAT ENRICH OUR VIBRANT COMMNUTY.
