Humankindness
holds the power
to help people heal.

We know medicine is more effective when it’s delivered with what we call
“humankindness.”
Our physicians, employees and volunteers have dedicated their lives to health care
because we want to help people heal – to treat them not as numbers, charts or
symptoms, but as human beings worthy of the best care and greatest compassion.
We believe humanity is at the very core of health care and we have long known what
scientists and researchers are now proving to be true: medicine has the ability to
cure, but it is our shared humanity that holds the power to heal.
