Mercy Medical Center and Catholic Health
Initiatives are committed to four Core Values:
Reverence, Integrity, Compassion,
and Excellence. As we participate in the Healing Ministry
of Jesus Christ, we are committed to demonstrating these four values in our
daily actions.
Reverence means having
a profound awe for all that God has created. It regards the respectful
care of the whole person: spirit, mind, and body. It means to
treat all people equally as gifts of God. Reverence also encompasses
worship of the Creator and grateful stewardship of the resources
that God has given us: our people, our environment, and all of
creation.
Integrity at Mercy Medical
Center means we are committed to honesty in all that we do or
say. We are committed to doing right. Integrity means we value
our relationships and principles above economics or politics.
We hold ourselves to a high standard of professional conduct.
We endeavor to provide healthcare in a manner that fosters trust
and always honors our heritage, customers and staff.
Compassion is the ability
to enter into anothers joy or sorrow. At Mercy we strive to listen,
understand, and treat everyone with sensitivity, kindness, and
grace. Our Mercy Charisms encourage us to exercise a preferential
option for the poor. It is our mission to especially care for
those most vulnerable in contemporary society.
Excellence means preeminent
performance putting forth our personal best at all times. Excellence
requires continuous learning and development. It means quality
management and performance improvement. And it is more than a
slogan at Mercy Medical Center. In 1999 the Joint Commission
on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations gave us the highest
score for an Idaho Hospital. We received Accreditation with Commendation,
the only medical facility in Idaho to have that distinction.
