Mission

"The mission of  Advocate Health Care is to serve the health needs of individuals, families and communities through a wholistic philosophy rooted in our fundamental understanding of human beings as created in the image of God."
Values
Advocate exists to serve. The core values of compassion, equality, excellence, partnership, and stewardship guide our actions as we work together to provide health services to others in our communities.
Philosophy
The care we provide is wholistic. This philosophy means we understand people have physical, emotional and spiritual needs and their relations to God, themselves, their families and society are vital to health and healing. Finally, we believe all people are created in the image of God. All human beings live under God's care and must be treated with dignity and respect.
The mission, values, and philosophy of Advocate are often referred to as the "MVP." By integrating them into every aspect of the organizations, these principles have strengthened the foundation of the Advocate culture in which we all work and serve.
