In the context of osteopathic tradition, the Zieger Health Care Corporation
recognizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to health. We are
committed to offering an array of high quality, health related services
of social value that reflect upon the individual as a whole. Our holistic
foundation emphasizes the inter-relatedness of human structure, function,
thought, emotion and environment.
The public trust that has been bestowed on this organization is fostered
and preserved by continuously improving and conducting all operations in
an atmosphere of concern, respect for human dignity, legal and ethical responsibility,
and prudent management of health care resources.
We will pursue our mission without regard to race, color, religion, ancestry,
national origin, impairment, age, sex or economical status.
The basic mission of the Zieger Health Care Corporation is to identify
the health care needs of the communities it serves and to offer the care
which addresses those needs, as a mutually supportive "corporate family."
Components of this mission are detailed as follows:
Our most fundamental activity is the provision of personal, compassionate
care. Such care includes the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle, preventative,
emergency, acute episodic, rehabilitative, ambulatory, supportive and long-term
care.
A special sensitivity to the health care and social needs of the various communities served is requisite to future growth and progress. As a responsible community member we actively participate in identifying and addressing health-related problems.
We are dedicated to the training of caring, osteopathic physicians and other
health care personnel who will enhance their professions; achieve both professional
and personal growth; and most importantly, improve the health status of
the people they serve.
Research by the osteopathic physician and other health care professionals
is encouraged and supported.
As a leader in contemporary health care delivery, we will seek to influence
the development of health care policies on the local, state, and national
levels that promote cost-effective, quality health care.
Within the osteopathic medical community, we will provide continued leadership
in the development of collaborative approaches to change, preserving the
unique benefits offered by osteopathic medical care.
In a framework of collegiality, collaboration and participation, we will
create a working environment that nurtures responsiveness, hospitality,
creativity, innovation, flexibility and decisiveness.
