Five Core Values

Our mission is underpinned by these five values. Our goal is to embody these values, and to imbue our work and interactions with the spirit that inspires them.

We respect the right of others to hold opinions which are different from our own.

Advocacy
We speak up for the quality healthcare of all persons, at all stages of life, and work to promote a more just and caring society.

Compassion
We offer individualized and personalized care and comfort through holistic presence as healthcare providers.

Care of the Poor
We serve the sick, aged, dying and marginalized of society, regardless of socio-economic status, and particularly seek to meet the needs of the poor.
