Care for who i am
Care for who I am encompasses the essence of our mission and vision as well as our unique focus on the individual and their fundamental cares. We are a leading innovator in the delivery of health care where people live across a broad spectrum of patient needs. Our standard of care reflects our expertise, values and total commitment to the patient and their family. Our brand promise is written in the first person (“I” rather than “you”) because as we provide care, we are guided by the patient’s perspective and the three domains of our Care Delivery Model.
- Who I am – Quality of Life
- How I feel – Comfort (Total Pain Management, Symptom Management)
- What I need – Safety (Right Meds Right Time, Safety & Autonomy)

Care Moments are stories that capture our dedication to treating each patient with compassion, excellence, integrity, innovation and teamwork.
