We believe in the following principles:
- Health resources, such as hospitals, nurses and physicians, that are funded competitively with counterpart cities in the region.
- A health system that is equipped and staffed adequately to meet the needs of our aging and growing population.
- Operating emergency services at a level to meet the needs of our citizens and that reduce unacceptably high levels of diversions.
- Making the latest medical advances and technology available in our own community to meet the needs of our citizens.
- Working collaboratively by bringing key stakeholders together to work on shared solutions, based on agreed-upon data and recognizing community needs.
- A health system that is recognized for its value and is efficient, effective and accountable to the community.
- Taking a stand to protect our region’s health care system to ensure it does not deteriorate and continues to meet the needs of our citizens – today and in the future.
