Values

Our Values

Our health care system carries forth Christ’s healing

ministry and strengthens the Catholic health care

mission. Our physicians and employees follow the values

established by our founding congregation, the Sisters of

St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration

Respect for life

The gift of life is so valued that each person is cared for with such joy, respect, dignity, fairness and compassion that he or she is consciously aware of being loved.

Compassionate concern

In openness and concern for the welfare of the patients, especially the aged,

the poor and the disabled, the staff works with select associations and

organizations to provide a continuum of care commensurate with the

individual’s needs.

Joyful service

The witness of Franciscan presence throughout the institution encompasses,

but is not limited to, joyful availability, compassionate, respectful care and

dynamic stewardship in the service of the Church.

Christian stewardship

Christian stewardship is evidenced by just and fair allocation of human,

spiritual, physical and financial resources in a manner respectful of the

individual, responsive to the needs of society, and consistent with Church

teachings.

Fidelity to our mission

Loyalty to and pride in the health care facility are exemplified by members of the health care family through their joy and respect in empathetically ministering to patients, visitors and co-workers.
