Additional Culture Details
As Ochsner healthcare professionals our Core Values - our beliefs and the commitments we make to one another - are central to who we are and what we do. These values and commitments identify the conduct and the habits we consider as essential to our work as any formal education or training. They are also deeply personal. Living our values with consistency takes courage and commitment, and comes with a great deal of responsibility. It's really all in our hands.
Our values aren't new. They've been a vital part of our culture since Dr. Alton Ochsner and his partners founded our organization 80 years ago. More than a year of focused discussion with employees, leaders, physicians, APPs and nurses across the system through our Ignite! Advisory Councils and other forums have demonstrated near unanimous agreement in defining our values and the commitments they represent. This kind of unified response - across regions and roles - speaks volumes about the Power of ONE team and the beliefs we all share.
So it's YOU - the people of Ochsner - who have identified the five Core Values that represent Ochsner Health System. These values guide our decisions, inspire our actions and influence our relationships with patients, colleagues and communities.
