Our mission is to improve the standards of health care in the communities in which we serve by achieving excellence in the quality of care we provide while improving access to surgical and other health services. We believe that we have a social responsibility to achieve this mission.

We believe that achieving our mission requires an unwavering focus on people. These are the clients we serve, the employees and practitioners that help us serve, and the people in our communities that are comforted by our presence and our genuine desire to help improve their health and well-being.

We believe that achieving our mission also requires our close cooperation with government, the College of Physicians & Surgeons, the local population of physicians, other health organizations, and the communities in which we operate.

We believe that we have an equal responsibility to our partners and shareholders to become a growing and profitable business and a leader in our field. And we believe that creating a culture that focuses on people instead of profit will provide us with a distinct advantage in achieving this.

We believe that the conduct of our people and our business as a whole must at all times demonstrate a deep concern for health, integrity, citizenship, safety, and the environment.
