Before you
consider a career with PeaceHealth, it’s important to know some of the
qualities that we look for in our people and the attributes we believe are
needed to be successful here. This will help you determine if our values and
expectations are in line with yours.
Exceptional Medicine and Compassionate Care Culture
Definition
Our promise of exceptional medicine and compassionate care is a
continuation of the healing ministry begun in 1890 in Bellingham by
the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace and their lay colleagues when
they founded St. Joseph Hospital to care for loggers, mill workers,
and their families. Our promise guides what we do and how we go
about doing it. It is relationship centered. It is based on the
ethic that everything in the environment affects recovery and
healing. Very little is neutral; almost everything can either
enhance or impair the healing process.
From our faith tradition, exceptional medicine and compassionate
care integrates healing in a holistic sense: a focus on the
physical, emotional, and spiritual as we provide highly reliable,
safe clinical treatment, striving to use the best that technology
and science can provide.
It guides us as we continue to develop strength as one healthcare
system serving many communities. It guides us as we develop our
models of care in service to our patients and families. It guides us
in how we hire, develop and respond to the needs of our caregivers.
It guides us as we design facilities. It guides us as we
continuously improve systems, processes, programs and organizational
infrastructures.
We will have fulfilled our promise when every PeaceHealth patient
receives safe, evidence-based, compassionate care: every time, every
touch.
It combines the science and art, the head and heart of our health
care ministry.
This is the cornerstone of our culture at PeaceHealth.

Toward our Desired Culture of Exceptional Medicine and
Compassionate Care
"Creating a seamless system of care across the communities we
serve has long been a vision of PeaceHealth. Amazing efforts
are underway throughout PeaceHealth to do this in a
patient-centered, healing and compassionate way.
"We know that we can only fulfill our mission, vision, and
desired culture if employees are committed, enjoy their work, and
value their role as caregivers in service to PeaceHealth patients,
families, and one another. We are working hard to create an
environment where relationships are respected and caregivers have
ample opportunity to learn and grow, both personally and
professionally.
"We listen to patients and family members. They have the
right to fully participate in decisions about their health care.
We continue to seek out ways to include patients in their care
process, and incorporate their suggestions for improvement."
