While we may not all do the same thing every day, we do have one mission. Now that mission is crystalized into one succinct statement: Working together to relieve suffering, restore health, and promote the highest quality of life for our community.
To determine these values, the management team brainstormed a list of twenty characteristics that are important for all employees regardless of department or job function. The top five values were determined by surveying the physicians and a percentage of staff in each department.
We hold ourselves and each other to the highest possible standards. These are the values CHS employees selected as core values for the organization:
Respect - Our patients, residents, families, and colleagues deserve nothing less than to be treated with dignity.
Teamwork - Success is achieved by one team working together at all times.
Professionalism - We hold ourselves to high standards of professionalism, ethics, and personal responsibility, worthy of the trust our community places in us.
Knowledge - Education doesn’t end. It continues every day and is actively pursued at all levels.
Compassion - We strive to recognize the needs of every life we touch—whether those needs are spoken or, just as importantly, unspoken.
