** Our Mission, Vision and Values **
Our mission, vision and values are all rooted in the belief that helping others is an enriching experience worthy of our best efforts
** Mission **
The John C. Lincoln Health Network exists because our founders could not be idle when they saw the dignity and potential of others threatened by illness or social circumstance. They worked to improve conditions.
So must we today.
True to the legacy we’ve proudly inherited, our mission is to assist each person entrusted to our care to enjoy the fullest gift of health possible, and to work with others to build a community where a helping hand is available for our most vulnerable members.
We do this because we believe in the value of each person we are honored to serve and because we believe helping people is an enriching experience worthy of our best efforts.
** Vision **
Our vision is to set the national standard of excellence in patient care and in service to the community, as judged by experts, and to deliver both with an unparalleled level of human compassion, as sensed by those we serve. We summarize this vision in the phrase, “Honored by Experts. Honored to Serve."
** Values **
Our values are the Five Pillars on which our work is based. These pillars are:
* Quality: We strive to be the standard by which other organizations are
judged. We are committed to providing excellent quality, to exceeding
expectations, and to continually improving what we do.
* People: At the heart of all we do is respect for people. We show respect to
all we encounter—our patients, visitors, co-workers, physicians and
volunteers. We celebrate and reward individual and team contributions. We
create an environment where people can develop their full potential. We
believe in enjoying our work and interacting with our co-workers.
* Growth: We value growth because it enables us to positively impact more lives—
with our services and as an employer. We believe well-managed growth is
essential to our financial health and comes from anticipating community needs
and developing new ways of meeting them. We find growth energizing because it
requires our creativity, innovation and integrity and because growth is
tangible evidence that we are the Hospitals of Choice that people trust at
the most critical times of their lives.
* Community: We contribute to our community as good citizens, individually and
as an organization. We participate in resolving issues related to our
community’s health. We pride ourselves on being a good neighbor who provides
a documented community benefit.
* Finance: We value financial performance and healthy financial position as a
means to achieving our mission.
