    • We respect the dignity, diversity and the God-given worth of every human being.
    • We provide compassionate personal care through our presence and response to the thoughts, feelings and unique needs of all people, especially the poor and underserved.
    Standards for values integration:
    • In the spirit of servant leadership, we welcome and seek to meet the unique needs of the patients, families, colleagues and co-workers we serve.
    • When integrated and lived, our values guide our individual behavior and result in an overall organizational culture where all employees embody Mayo Clinic and Franciscan values and practice relationship-based care.
    • The daily actions of the staff give witness to and support for the mission, vision and values of the organization and its sponsors. These behavioral statements apply to all Franciscan Healthcare staff members:
      • Practice pleasant, courteous and professional manner of speech and behavior in all forms of interaction and communication with all people.
