Promise is the realization that these character qualities are foundational to our ability to Live Our Values Every day.\u00a0 Exceptional, Honorable, Devoted, Reliable, and Kind.\u00a0 Five words that describe an approach to living that result in our fellow associates, our patients, and our community members feeling Love as it is intended to be, and that is expressed so well in our unofficial motto, \u201cWhat a blessing it is to work in a place where we love people for a living.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During the height of the pandemic, our country appeared to be embracing the concepts we hold so dear here at Hancock Health.\u00a0 How quickly things have changed.\u00a0 An evil act by police officers in Minneapolis was the match that lit a raging fire that threatens to split our country apart.\u00a0 As people rightly take to the streets in peaceful protest to express their revulsion to this horrific event, and to re-focus our attention on the underlying issues it exposes, their honorable intent is frequently hijacked by those desiring to spread fear, malice, and chaos.<\/p>\n<p>While we live in a world where many issues seem so gray, there are areas where right and wrong are clear.\u00a0 Judging a person on the color of their skin, their cultural heritage, their religion, their gender characteristics, is never appropriate.\u00a0 As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. so famously said, it is the \u201ccontent of our character\u201d that should define us, not our external attributes. There is simply no place in our society for discrimination and hatred, and we must stand against all attempts to practice them.\u00a0 Similarly, there is no place for defiance of the laws that protect us or for those who would bring anarchy to our streets.<\/p>\n<p>At Hancock Health, our values guide us to ensure all the people we interact with feel the respect and dignity they deserve as unique individuals created in the image of God.\u00a0 Our values also guide us to care for our community and to support the government officials we have elected to lead us and to sustain the first responders they have chosen to protect our families, our homes, and our livelihoods.<\/p>\n<p>At this crucial time in our nation\u2019s history, I urge you to remember the unique role we play in our community and the need to hold ourselves accountable to the values that define us.\u00a0 We must especially be aware of the words we use and the way we make people feel.\u00a0 My personal pledge to you is that we will not waiver from this course and we will continue to shine as a beacon of hope and healing to all the people in our region, and to each other.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A week rarely goes by where I don\u2019t receive a note from a grateful patient, family, or community member recognizing how different we are from so many other healthcare organizations [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_tec_requires_first_save":true,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[386],"tags":[],"service":[],"class_list":["post-13560","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":{"featured_image":null,"page_title":"","sub_header":"","display_overlay":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
