The Mission, Vision, and Values of St. Joseph Health System work in concert to shape our decisions and guide our actions. They form the heart of our health care ministry.

Our Mission
To extend the healing ministry of Jesus in the tradition of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange by continually improving the health and quality of life of people in the communities we serve.

Our Vision
We bring people together to provide compassionate care, promote health improvement and create healthy communities

Our Values:
The St. Joseph Health System is comprised of four core values:

DIGNITY
We respect each person as an inherently valuable member of the human community and as a unique expression of life.

SERVICE
We bring people together who recognize that every interaction is a unique opportunity to serve one another, the community, and society.

EXCELLENCE
We foster personal and professional development, accountability, innovation, teamwork, and commitment to quality.

JUSTICE
We advocate for systems and structures that are attuned to the needs of the vulnerable and disadvantaged and that promote a sense of community among all persons.

These are the guiding principles for all we do, shaping our interactions with those whom we are privileged to serve.

Today, St. Joseph Health System strives to achieve its mission by realizing three strategic goals: Sacred Encounters, Perfect Care and Healthiest Communities.
