that patients are treated as whole people with attention to body, mind, culture, spirit, family relationships, and community support
that doctors should treat patients as partners in care not only to heal, but to preserve dignity and respect for patients and caregivers
that prevention of illness becomes a paramount goal which we encourage through patient education and support of good health and lifestyle habits.

that care is outcome-based, planned, using best practice national standards, with constant advancement in medical knowledge through on-going education and innovation in computer technology,
that access includes same-day "urgencies" appointments and telephoned patient condition updates given with express patient permission to concerned family and caregivers.
