OUR CORE VALUES
Be a healer
Our business is focused on helping people to move achieve and sustain wellness. This is dependent on the healing intentions of every individual in our organization. Accept this in all elements and with every interaction. This includes mental, social, physical, and spiritual health. Be an example and strive to improve your personal wellness in every way.
Welcome all people
All people are unique and experience life differently. This fact is what makes people interesting. Be sensitive to this and allow yourself to learn from other’s life experiences.
Be curious
Seek out learning opportunities in all aspects of life. Ask questions at every opportunity. Learning work duties is not sufficient to maintain a fulfilled life. Challenge yourself to always be attempting or improving on something that is new or unfamiliar.
Think outside the box, but also be good at working within the box
Be great at the basics and follow historically successful strategies. Also, be great at looking beyond the basics to find new and innovative ways to improve on our daily routine. Always be open to new suggestions no matter how strange or uncomfortable they may sound.
Maintain open and honest relationships
Communicate openly and clearly. Consider the daily constitution of people you interact with; remember that everyone’s perception of your interactions is their individual reality. Be cautious with criticism and be liberal with praise. View criticism as an opportunity to improve. We are always working on a team whether it is a team of clinician and patient or teams within our company. In every case we are more productive together and incapable alone.
Be passionate and recognize that nothing is ever as good as it could be
Recognize that everything can always be improved upon. Always strive to improve on daily practices and processes. Stay excited about your work and look to make improvements daily. Recognize that you are in control of your interests and motivation. The day goes faster and you will produce better quality work when you maintain your interest.
