Our Commitment
Mission Home Health and Palliative Care recognizes
these values and their role in fulfilling our mission:
Committed to Our Patients & Families
We recognize the unique physical, emotional, and
spiritual needs of each person receiving Healthcare in
the home. We are devoted to extending the highest
level of courtesy, safety and service to patients, family/
caregivers, visitors, and each other.
Committed to Continuing Education
The world of Healthcare is constantly changing, with
new technology, new medications and new treatments
supplanting the old. Continuing education benefits
clinicians by increasing their knowledge, but the
ultimate goal of continuing education is to benefit the
patient. A clinician who is up-to-date educationally can
practice more safely and at a higher professional level.
Committed to Quality of Life and Well-Being
People are more likely to manage their condition
properly when they have more accessible healthcare
goals instead of focusing only on abstract targets like
blood-sugar levels. As a result, that leads to much
better health. Numerous studies show that when
people have a higher sense of well-being, they have
fewer hospitalizations and emergency-room visits.
Mission is committed to providing our full array of
clinical experience and resources to promote quality of
life and well being for our patients.
Committed to a Culture of Safety and Quality
We strive to create a culture of safety and quality by
developing a code of conduct, providing education,
encouraging open communication, encouraging to
provide a team approach to safety and quality initiatives,
providing that defines how patients, family/caregivers,
visitors, and other members of the community can help
identify and manage issues of safety and quality, and
implementing changes identified in order to maintain
the culture of safety and quality.
