Service Behaviors

The daily fulfillment of our Mission is only possible by striving for service goals and exhibiting behaviors consistent with our Core Values. St. Vincent Healthcare recognizes the behaviors related to Excellence, Respect, Stewardship, Response to Need and Wholeness. We recognize the presence of God's healing love through the excellent care we deliver while recognizing the sacred worth and dignity of each person. Providing worthwhile work for our employees within the foundation of respect and dignity allow St. Vincent's care givers to provide the highest quality care throughout the Hospital.

EXCELLENCE - The presence of God's healing love is evidenced through excellence in the care which we offer.

RESPECT - We recognize the sacred worth and dignity of each person. In our presence people feel comfortable and worthwhile.

RESPONSE TO NEED - The healthcare we offer is based on community need. We strive to improve the health status of the community, with a special concern for the poor and those who have limited access to healthcare.

STEWARDSHIP - We are mindful that we hold our resources in trust for the sake of the healing ministry, and that our physical resources come from our patients and communities. We believe that our greatest resources are our employees.

WHOLENESS - In the faith which undergirds our healthcare ministry, we value the health of the whole person — spiritual, psychosocial, emotional and medical.
