Values Statement

  • Our organizational values stem directly from the origins of the Hospital District in 1948. The District was formed to provide access to patient care services for the residents of the Township, at a time when people had to leave their community and travel significant distances to find hospital care. The District serves its community by providing high quality, affordable and convenient care. We are committed not only in law, but in spirit to local accountability.
  • Healthcare is an intensely personal service. Underlying all that we offer is the recognition that healthcare is not a commodity. Our essential purpose is to improve the human condition. Our reason for being begins and ends with our patients and our community, and we are committed to a "patient first" ethic. To our patients we owe comfort, compassion and whenever possible, a cure. Our efforts are focused not just on individuals and families, but also on the overall health of the community.
  • It is our obligation to provide responsible stewardship of our resources, acting in all areas of our healthcare system with integrity, professionalism and with respect for a patient's right to choice.
  • To our fellow employees, volunteers and members of our medical staff we owe a commitment to perform all of our responsibilities with loyalty, perseverance, self-discipline and dependability. We achieve these goals through our organizational commitment to innovation, process improvements and pursuit of excellence.
