OUR
VALUES
Respect
for the Individual
We believe that the people we serve have the
right to personal dignity, respect, and the highest possible degree of
independence. We are committed to
services that promote the individual’s quality of life, focus on the
individual’s strengths, foster independence, and honor the rights, wishes, and
needs of the individual.
Support
for Local Care
We believe that the people are best served
within their home community. We are
committed to the availability of a full and flexible range of coordinated
services with the community as the primary focus of care, and services that
appropriately meet the needs of the individual in the most normal environment
possible. We are committed to
programs which build upon the local support provided by family, friends, other
agencies and the community, and which offer employment, leisure, learning,
residential and psychiatric/rehabilitation services within this supportive
framework.
Professionalism and Commitment to Quality
We believe that we should encourage and
reward excellence. We will create a
work environment which inspires and promotes innovation and creativity, supports
education and research, and continually seeks more efficient and effective ways
to provide clinical and administrative services.
We are committed to a skilled and ethical work force, culturally
competent and dedicated to the highest standards of courtesy, understanding, and
respect. We will be an agency worthy
of the highest level of public trust.
