Values in Action

As members of the Munson Healthcare Team, we find purpose in knowing that we have touched a life — a patient, a colleague, a family member — and made it better. 

The Rec Center allows us an opportunity to celebrate those members of the Healthcare Team who exemplify our Values of Excellence, Exceptional Experiences, Creativity, Positivity and Teamness in their daily work. These Values ground us, drive us, and define us. 

The Values Manifesto

Every day at work, we find purpose in knowing that we have touched a life — a patient, a colleague, a family member — and made it better. We draw strength from our deep connections to the Northern Michigan communities we call home, and the traditions and memories that have shaped us. We know that each day, people depend on us and we are energized and humbled by this significant responsibility.

We hold ourselves to a high standard of excellence. We push ourselves and our teammates to do our very best, because we know every action we take has an impact on the lives of those around us. Our pursuit of excellence requires curiosity, a willingness to learn, and the courage to step out of our comfort zones.

We leave lasting impressions by ensuring exceptional experiences. Even the smallest moments have the power to change a life.  We know that healthcare can be hard at times and believe that no one should ever have to face it alone. We strive to go beyond what is expected in all we do.

We believe that each of us has a creative spark. We embrace the courage to try new things and give permission to sometimes fail, because it is through sharing our failures that we grow and learn. Our friends, families and neighbors deserve bold and innovative thinking, and we are proud to lead the way.

We know anything is possible with the power of positivity, and that life is a gift we often hold in our hands. We lift each other up, believe in the goodness of others and give grace, even in the toughest situations.   

We are not just a group of individuals, but a beloved community. We embrace Teamness — it's an attitude, a vibe that we cultivate through mutual respect and complete transparency. We put our teammates first, even when it's hard to do. And build lasting, trusted relationships with one another. We believe in human kindness and strive to embody it in all our interactions. 

These are the Values that ground us, drive us and define us. We are here for the love of our communities and for the people we serve with one purpose — to improve lives every day.
