Our Mission, Our Vision, Our Values
Our Mission

Our Vision
To be a national leader for excellence in patient care.
Our Values
The organizations which make up Memorial Health System exist to serve the needs of our patients, physicians and community at large. In pursuit of that mission we, the people of the Memorial family, commit to the following values:
Service to Humanity
To care for life’s precious gift of health is a calling of the highest order. We recognize the vulnerability that accompanies fear and hope. We accept the responsibility, entrusted to us every day, to serve humanity.
Excellence in Performance
By bringing together talented, dedicated people and advanced technology, we strive to provide quality healthcare. We take pride in ourselves, our colleagues and our workplace. We demonstrate that pride in
the quality of service we deliver each day.
Respect for the Individual
We treat all people with dignity, respect and compassion. We believe that every person is unique
and has the right to participate in decisions that affect them.
Value of Employees
More than buildings and equipment, people are Memorial Health System. Our success depends on
an atmosphere of fairness and mutual respect. We are committed to provide equal opportunity for employment, growth and advancement. Furthermore, all employees are provided the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the fulfillment of our mission and are recognized for their accomplishments.
Integrity in Relationships
We are committed to fairness and honesty in all of our relationships. We recognize that our ability to sustain relationships, based on mutual trust, is the foundation of our success.
Community Responsibility
We hold our assets in public trust and recognize that continued financial viability is essential to fulfill
our mission within the context of this statement of values. We believe that our community service
obligation can best be met as a not-for-profit organization. Furthermore, we accept the responsibility
to support research, education and public service programs that enrich the quality of life in our community.
Equal Access
We believe all people deserve equal access to care and services. In our pursuit of this belief, we are constrained by our financial resources. We must balance our commitment to provide equal access to care and services with our obligation to ensure the continuing availability of quality healthcare for the future.
