Patient Care is our Highest Purpose

Working with patients is more than a profession. It’s a privilege. The highest calling we have is to meet the physical, mental and spiritual needs unique to each patient we serve. To us, living our lives on purpose must encompass giving our patients the best of ourselves, providing excellent care to everyone who comes to us, each and every day.

Excellent care also means advocating for greater transparency in clinical quality and improving the accessibility of quality information. In these and other ways, we believe we can continue to raise the bar for health care nationally.

This transparency also flows over to how we deliver rewards to all of our employees so that you fully understand the value of all that CHW can offer you.

• CHW hospitals in San Bernardino, California, and Phoenix, Arizona, have been recognized among the “Best Places to Work” in their communities.

• In 2008, 10 CHW hospitals received national honors for their healthy environmental practices from the national organization Practice Greenhealth.

same of us: that we will provide

for their needs to the very best

of our abilities. Living up to

that expectation is part of our

philosophy, and Total Rewards is

our clearest expression of it.” —Lloyd H. Dean, President/CEO
