OUR VALUES
Center values have been adopted as follows:
Respect for the Individual - We believe that the people we serve have
the right to personal dignity, respect and the highest possible degree
of independence. We are committed to services that promote the
individual's quality of life, focus on the individual's strengths,
foster independence, and honor the rights, wishes and needs of the
individual.
Support for Local Care - We believe that people are best served within
their home community. We are committed to the availability of a full and
flexible range of coordinated services with the community as the primary
focus of care, and services that appropriately meet the needs of the
individual in the most normal environment possible. We are committed to
programs which build upon the local support provided by family, friends,
other agencies and the community, and which offer employment, leisure,
learning, residential and psychiatric/rehabilitation services within
this supportive framework.
Professionalism and Commitment to Quality - We believe that we should
encourage and reward excellence. We will create a work environment which
inspires and promotes innovation and creativity, supports education and
research, and continually seeks more efficient and effective ways to
provide clinical and administrative services. We are committed to a
skilled and ethical work force, culturally competent and dedicated to
the highest standards of courtesy, understanding and respect. We will be
