The E/TFHC’s values

Dignity of the Person
We believe that each person has equal worth and dignity regardless of race, sex, age, religion, mental or physical capacity, social status or position. Thus, each person deserves respect and affirmation regardless of status or function.

Compassionate Care
We are dedicated to helping those in need, particularly those who may have no refuge, beyond what may be expected or claimed as a right. Our approach is holistic; we strive to care for the body, mind and spirit. Our care encompasses the full range of human needs.

Community
We recognize that each employee is an essential member of the team and the organization. Our clinics and providers collaborate with other care- givers in a partnership of healing. Each clinic belongs to and serves its immediate community, working with others to provide effective help to all members of the community.

Quality
We strive to do the best at what we do, while accepting our limits as an organization. Our performance standards and expectations reinforce this commitment to quality.

Stewardship
We are responsible for protecting what is of value to our organization - - its human resources as well as its material and financial assets. We accept the responsibility of being leaders in health care. This task requires taking risks and keeping commitments. We accept the challenge of advocating for our patients and our communities.
