OUR VALUES - Serving our communities together with:
H – Honesty
E – Empathy

R – Respect

H - Lyndsay Miller (PAH) - “Honesty means doing the right thing when no one is watching.”
E - Steffan Nanni, RN (IRMC) - “To me, empathy means being able to put yourself in someone else's shoes and connect with them to make their situation easier so that they're not nervous or scared.”
A - Jessica Brewer, MSN, RN, CDI (ACMH) - “As healthcare professionals, accountability means pledging to do our very best each day in our roles to deliver safe & quality patient care. We take responsibility to ensure that every interaction we have with our patients is a positive experience. This leads to patient satisfaction and strengthens our relationship with the community that we serve.”
R - Kyle Lovisone, DO (IRMC) - “Respect, to me, is one of the most important pillars of healthcare; it's fundamental in earning the trust and faith of both patients and colleagues. Having the respect of those around you allows everyone involved to have a say in clinical-decision making which, in turn, allows all parties to be reassured that the patient is receiving the most appropriate care.”
T - Jenn Elick (PAH) - “Strong teamwork leads to safer, better patient care.”
