VALUES

Quality
The patient comes first in everything we do. We strive to provide every patient and every customer with services and products of uncompromising quality – error free, on time, every time. We do that by dedicating ourselves to the relentless pursuit of excellence in the services we provide.

Integrity
Credibility is the key to our success; therefore, all of our processes, decisions and actions ultimately are driven by integrity. We are honest and forthright in all our dealings with our customers and with each other. We are responsible corporate citizens in the community we serve. We strictly comply with the laws and regulations governing our business, not only as a legal obligation and as a competitive necessity, but because it is the right thing to do.

Innovation
We constantly seek innovative ways to enhance patient care and provide value to our customers. We support the creativity, courage and persistence that transform information into knowledge, and knowledge into insights. We seek continuous learning through the adaptation of existing knowledge, as well as through experimentation, with the full understanding that we learn from our failures as well as our successes.

Accountability
As a company and as individuals, we accept full responsibility for our performance and acknowledge our accountability for the ultimate outcome of all that we do. We strive for continuous improvement, believing that competence, reliability, and rigorous adherence to process discipline are the keys to excellence.

Collaboration
We believe in teamwork and the limitless possibilities of collaborative energy. We achieve excellence by putting collective goals ahead of personal interests. We support and encourage open communication and meaningful cooperation among colleagues from varying backgrounds and disciplines. We respect individual differences, and we value diversity.

Leadership
We strive to be the best at what we do both as a company, and as individuals. We embrace the qualities of personal leadership - courage, competence, confidence and a passion for surpassing expectations. We will provide growth opportunities for our employees, quality services and products to our customers and superior returns to our shareholders.

As we usher in 2025, it presents a perfect opportunity to prioritize our well-being and set meaningful health goals.  The New Year often inspires us to rethink our health and wellness strategies, and with the right support, it can be easier than ever to achieve our aspirations.
