Coming together gives us greater resources to achieve our mission and vision while strengthening our core values. Our mission, values and belief statements are the foundation of our promise to the patients, families and communities we serve.
the V.I.B.E. (Values I bring Everyday)
Hospitality
Greet patients, families, and colleagues with a smile on our face and in our voice. Always be ready to help patients, families, and colleagues. Anticipate needs, take time to listen, and ask “what else can I do for you?”
Quality
Hold each other accountable for quality and safety standards. Speak up and report process, safety and quality concerns.
Joy
Recognize and celebrate others’ talents and successes. Find delight and purpose in our work, even in challenging situations. Take care of ourselves and one another.
Justice
Ensure care meets the needs and preferences of patients and their families. Advocate for patients, colleagues, and communities. Do and say what is right, even when no one is watching.
Stewardship
Use time and resources effectively and efficiently. Treat our facilities as our own.
Teamwork
Show up on time. Be prepared. Engage. Contribute. Work together. Choose to bring a positive attitude to work each day. Address conflict promptly with courtesy and respect.
Respect
Listen. Seek to understand and not judge. Show regard for feelings, wishes, needs, and preferences. Communicate clearly and consistently.

Strength through diversity
Essentia Health is driven by values and innovative care, and diversity is a key expression of both. Our workforce allows for
divergent viewpoints and the advancement of ideas to foster our entrepreneurial nature, which benefits our work as well as our
partners and investors.
Employees are essential to our success and we are committed to attracting, retaining and promoting a talented, diverse
workforce. We strive to support an environment where everyone can reach their full potential, and where differences are valued
and celebrated.
How We Give Back
With growth comes change. And while we cherish our communities, we’re also called to improve them. That’s the future—making everyday life better through boundless vision. Essentia Health’s mission is straightforward: We are called to make a healthy difference in people’s lives. That’s why we do more than care for patients who come through our doors. We get involved in the communities we serve. We want to help all people—you, your friends, your family, your neighbors—live safe, healthy, and active lives.
Our commitment to our communities extends beyond our walls. We actively partner with local agencies and organizations to make a healthy difference in new and innovative ways in the areas that we serve. We are committed to advancing our mission through contributions that support our neighborhoods.
