A VISION
BEYOND
WALLS
ALL OF US
at Samaritan Healthcare are
excited to introduce our new mission and
vision to our patients and community.
These promises reflect our commitment
to serving our community, whether that’s
through surgery or health care informa-
tion. Here’s what some of our senior lead-
ers have to say about this new move:
Our new vision and mission state-
ments challenge us to meet the needs of
the community—to keep them healthy
and thus avoid hospitalization and to en-
courage us to treat our customers who
need to be hospitalized in a kind, caring
and effective manner.”
—Jim Irwin, MD, chief medical officer
Our new mission statement helps
us to focus on the people we serve. It also
demonstrates that it takes all of us involved
with Samaritan Healthcare to provide great
care and that it is an honor and privilege
to meet the health care needs of our com-
munity. Our new vision statement reminds
us that we are more than the four walls of
our hospital and clinics, and we are a
health care community engaged in improv-
ing the health of our community.”
—Tom Legel, MBA, chief financial officer
We deliver quality care every time
and practice continuous quality improve-
ment. We collaborate to improve the care
experience. At Samaritan, we are family. At
Samaritan, we care.”
—Becky DeMers, RN, chief quality officer
I am very excited about our new
mission statement, in particular, as it was
born out of our patient- and family-cen-
tered care team two years ago. As the team
worked to create a vision for patient- and
family-centered care, the definitions and
aspirations that were discussed brought
about this vision, which is now appropri-
ately organization-wide. Our mission is to
provide consistent, compassionate care
throughout the facility; be better than the
competition; and have everyone on the
same team heading toward positive care
and always asking ‘How does this serve
our patients and their families?’
“Our vision, ‘Together, inspiring healthy
communities,’ is a statement that our
health care transcends beyond the walls
of our hospital and clinic. We are part of
this community and here to serve together
with the community to complete our mis-
sion: ‘All of us, for each of you, every time.”’
—Kathryn Trumbull, RN, chief nursing
officer
The statement ‘All of us, for each of
you, every time’ is so important. It encom-
passes our need to be there for our pa-
tients, for our community and for each
other. It makes every interaction, every
communication and every moment an
opportunity to make a difference in the
life of another person. That opportunity
may be with a patient, a family member,
a co-worker, a community member or even
a vendor, but whoever it is allows me to
demonstrate personal care while doing my
work. It says, ‘I’m here for you, and we are
here for you.’ To me, that is an inspirational
battle cry to always do our best.”
—Theresa Sullivan, MBA, FACHE, chief
operating officer
The new statements resonate more
directly with me because we are so much
more than a hospital or a clinic taking care
of patients. We are a large employer and a
community-wide role model for health.
The phrase ‘each of you’ can extend beyond
the patient to family members as well as
to internal customers. This is the first time
a mission and vision statement have en-
compassed everyone directly, not just
patient care and employees.”
—Lisa McDaniel, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, chief
human resources officer
SHARING OUR COMMITMENT: Samaritan leaders and staff celebrate the new mission and vision with the community.
