mission statement & Addressing Social Problems
To improve the quality of life and promote wellness and recovery to those we serve.
We put first the needs and well-being of the individuals we serve. We honor the voices and strengths of the individuals
we serve. We care, finding ways to listen and respond. We recognize and respect that there is a need for information at
all levels. We are driven to conduct ourselves in an open, ethical, and honest manner. We strive for excellence in all that we do. We pursue growth and embrace change. We adapt to the changing needs of those individuals we serve and our community. We work as a team to accomplish our mission.
We are committed to providing a person first approach to care. A key element to care is our focus on the provision of culturally and linguistically appropriate services and racial equity. This focus influences both the culture and the performance of the organization and we are committed to being culturally affirming and responsive, to implement recruitment, hiring, and promotional practices that allow us to more closely reflect and represent the communities we serve. We challenge ourselves to address health disparities and remove barriers to services.
