the face of uncertainty or adversity. This happens when we think big,
speak up and are decisive.
• Excellence. We can only change patients’ lives when we perform at
our best together. This happens when we focus on what matters,
agree who does what and measure our outcomes.
• Equity. We believe that every person deserves to be seen, heard and
cared for. This happens when we are inclusive, act with integrity and
reduce health care disparities.
• Joy. We give ourselves to our work, but it also gives to us. We find joy
when we take pride, recognize one another and have fun.
