Our vision

Healthy, empowered and connected communities.

Our vision supports our strategic plan and goals for the future.

Our purpose

Together, we deliver high quality, safe and equitable patient-centred care, locally.

Our values

We worked with our staff to create a shared value system we all believe in.

Each value is supported by core behaviours, guiding what we do, how we act, and how we treat our patients and each other.

Trust

Having confidence, and belief in each other to be able to rely and depend on our action.

• Own your actions and behaviours
