Our mission is to involve, empower and facilitate the health and independence of individuals with physical, developmental, emotional and mental disabilities. Embodying the healing ministry of Jesus Christ, our mission is to provide high quality care for the body, mind and spirit of every person. Our commitment to healing calls us to:

• create caring and compassionate environments
• respect the dignity of every person
• care for the resources entrusted to us as responsible stewards
• collaborate with others to improve the health of our communities
• attend especially to the needs of those who are poor and disadvantaged
• act with integrity in all endeavors

To achieve this mission, we pledge to be creative, visionary leaders committed to holistic healthcare. The independence of the individuals that we serve is our main focus. The definition of the word in and of itself is noteworthy.
