We have a can-do attitude. We are flexible, agile, and never say, “It’s not my job.” We always seek growth, and we are never late but always willing to stay late to see the last patient.

We are mission driven. We are committed to health equity; recognize all contributions are meaningful and valued. It is never about the me or I, but about the we.

We care about people. We celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion; we are kind and practice acts of kindness, all in service to our patients and each other.
