Mission
In the spirit of Christ and the example of Francis of Assisi, the
Mission of OSF HealthCare is to serve persons with the greatest
care and love in a community that celebrates the Gift of Life.
Vision
Recognizing God’s great gift of life, we will be a Community
of Caregivers pursuing perfection in healthcare quality, safety,
service and financial integrity.
This Vision refers to all components of OSF Healthcare including
OSF Healthcare System, OSF Healthcare Foundation, OSF Saint Francis,
Inc. and OSF Health Plans, Inc. Philosophy and Values
We, The Sisters of The Third Order of St. Francis believe: That
led by the Spirit of the Gospels and the example of St. Francis,
the special purpose of our existence as a corporation is to
provide for the total well being of those we serve.
That
every person, created in the image of God and composed
of
body and soul, is a human being endowed with intellect and
free will, completely dependent upon God for existence and
destined
to possess God in heavenly beatitude. Because of the dignity
of the human person and his moral conscience, each person
has certain
God-given rights with corresponding obligations toward his
Creator, his fellow man and himself.
OSF
HealthCare fulfills, through a service of love and compassion,
a mission of
caring and peace consistent with the needs of
the Church and the people served. The love of Christ permeates
its
work as it strives to continue the healing ministry of
Christ and His Church to the total person; to be love,
mercy, inspiration,
tenderness and compassion to those whose lives are entered.
Values
From the Philosophy flow these Values of The Sisters
of the Third Order of
St. Francis which permeate all their endeavors:
- Justice: Personal
worth and dignity of every person we serve regardless of
race, color, religion and ability to pay.
