Respect
We believe that each person possesses an innate human dignity and deserves our respect regardless of differences in race religion ability socioeconomic position or any other differentiating features

Compassion
When we are sick we are vulnerable We may experience pain fear anxiety and hopelessness In addition the complexities of healthcare place many stresses on healthcare workers Our responsibility as caregivers is to bear these experiences in mind and to respond to them with love Mother Teresa said there are two kinds of human expressions love and cries for love both of which should be met with love This is true for our patients families vendors and each other

Teamwork
We are a small rural hospital teamwork is critical both internally and externally In order to optimize the health services for our community it is essential we collaborate with outside partners In addition employees of a rural hospital wear many hats Our success is dependent on a coordinated collegial approach toward patient care and in all the activities that support patient care

Trust
We have a special bond with our patients and communities which is held together by trust Trust is built on a foundation of integrity competence results and behavior congruent with these elements

We recognize that attitude affects behavior It is by our actions that we demonstrate our commitment and dedication to the hospitals mission vision and values Positive attitudes create an environment where staff can express our values and create a truly healing environment Negative attitudes will undermine our values and erode the care we deliver We commit to a positive culture and will keep in mind the Betari box
