We believe in treating each individual not simply as a patient,
but as
a member of our own family.
Philosophy
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.
Mission
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:
Caring
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.
Community Involvement
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.
Education
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
Research by the osteopathic physician and other health care professionals
is encouraged and supported.
Leadership
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.
