  3. Justice: Act with justice, love with kindness and walk humbly with your God. –Micah 6:8. We foster a culture that promotes unity and reconciliation. We strive to care wisely for our people, our resources and our earth. We stand in solidarity with the most vulnerable, working to remove the causes of oppression and promoting justice for all.
  4. Excellence: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart. –Colossians 3:23. We set the highest standards for ourselves and our ministries. Through transformation and innovation, we strive to improve the health and quality of life in our communities. We commit to compassionate, safe and reliable practices for the care of all.
  5. Integrity: Let us love not merely with words or speech but with actions in truth. –1 John 3:18. We hold ourselves accountable to do the right things for the right reasons. We speak the truth with courage and respect. We pursue authenticity with humility and simplicity.
