Vision

Our vision is to provide the highest quality health care, without limits, to those in need.

• To ensure that everyone is taken care of today and for a lifetime.
• To create something greater than any of us - a promise - that for many years, the highest quality health care will be provided to our community with compassion.

Values

In caring together for life, the Avera Health community is guided by the gospel values of compassion, hospitality and stewardship.

Compassion

The compassion of Jesus, especially for the poor and the sick of body and spirit, shapes the manner in which health care is delivered by Avera's employees, physicians, administrators, volunteers and sponsors. Compassionate caring is expressed through sensitive listening and responding, understanding, support, patience, and healing touch.

Hospitality

The encounters of Jesus with each person were typified by openness and mutuality. A welcoming presence, an attentiveness to needs, and a gracious manner, seasoned with a sense of humor, are expressions of hospitality in and by the Avera Health community.

Stewardship

Threaded through the mission of Jesus was the restoration of all the world to right relationship with its Creator. In that same spirit and mission, the members of Avera Health treat persons, organizational power and earth's resources with justice and responsibility. Respect, truth and integrity are foundational to right relationships among those who serve, and those who are served.
