Values in Practice is a living demonstration of St. Francis Hospital's Core Values of: Reverence for each person, Community, Justice, Commitment to those who are poor, Stewardship, Courage and Integrity.
Values in Practice is a commitment every colleague makes to preserve our Mission to be a transforming, healing presence in the community we serve, through the alignment of behaviors that reflect our values-based culture of caring and excellence. At the center of Values in Practice are our five Pillars of Excellence, which provide the infrastructure for goal setting and evaluation of our actions:
Leaders throughout St. Francis Hospital have been educated on the nine Principles of Values in Practice including the concepts, strategies, and tactics for creating and sustaining a culture of caring through excellence.
Integral within this framework is St. Francis Hospital's commitment to fostering diversity. As a member of the Catholic Health system that is committed to our Mission and Values, we call upon ourselves to develop a culture that welcomes, embraces, and is enriched by individual differences and similarities. Our goal is to create a system that integrates the principles of inclusion and diversity as essential elements of a mission-centered, high-performing organization.
