Our Core Values: 
Our values define who we are and how we act as stakeholders, individually and collectively.  We live these values in all that we do.  Values are inconsequential unless they drive our behavior, decisions and priorities.  Values in action create a culture, and an organization’s culture determines its success.

• Honesty - We believe in honesty and are fully transparent in all we do.
• Excellence - We distinguish ourselves by our commitment to deliver exceptional care, every time, demonstrating results in measurable ways.
• Appreciation - We recognize and value the significance of the individual, contributing to the outcomes achieved by the team.
• Respect - We recognize and advocate for the Erlanger team and for those served, embracing the power of appreciation, communicating and listening, treating each other with dignity, compassion and understanding.
• Trust - We earn the trust of others because we hold ourselves accountable and conform to professional standards of conduct.
