Our Purpose

Our Purpose

Connecting through a circle of care.

When you're taken care of, your patients are taken care of. When your patients are taken care of, our communities become stronger and healthier.

We are committed to care.

From residency to retirement, this is our promise to you.

Compassion

We meet people where they are, recognizing the innate value of every individual. We demonstrate bias-free compassion for the whole person in all our interactions.

PS&D plays a vital role in influencing the hiring of a diverse healthcare workforce.

Studies have shown that diversity can help organizations improve both patient care quality and financial results.

Specifically, increasing the racial and ethnic diversity of the healthcare workforce is associated with greater patient choice and satisfaction, expanding healthcare access for the underserved, fostering research in neglected areas of societal need and enriching the pool of managers and policymakers to meet the needs of a diverse populace.
