Our Mission

Core Values - “The Metro Way”

The Metro Way is an informal expression we embrace to demonstrate that our organization goes beyond the science of medicine.

This philosophy and approach involves smiling at patients, helping someone find his way, comforting those in sorrow and respecting the feelings of others. It means listening to each other, lending a helping hand to co-workers and being aware of how our organization impacts our neighbors. It is the sum of all the little things that make the difference between a good experience and the best experience.

We are specifically committed to the following values:

• Service
• Teamwork
• Accountability
• Respect
• Inclusiveness
• Quest for Excellence
