Bring it Every Day: Doesn’t mean you

let people know that you are still
here for your teammates. Be positive!
Have Each Other’s Back: This
means teamwork, it means
working together to achieve the
common goal of serving our patients
and serving each other. Look out for
your teammates and look for
opportunities to pitch in.
Give a Damn: Do the right thing.
Every time. Don’t cut corners and
don’t do anything to a patient or
treat a patient in a way that you
wouldn’t want done to you or your
family. Care about the experience
our patients have here and the
quality of work you do!
Always Growing: Always learning,
always improving, always striving to
be better - stay on top of Continuing
Education, keep up with materials
and techniques updates, latest
technology, etc. Be proactive in ways
that we can improve our practice. Be
positive about change!

is fun to see each other grow and
improve. It is fun to see the
difference we make. And it is fun to
be able to laugh and love with your
work family. So find joy in what you
do every day!
