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, a gracious manner, seasoned with a sense of humor, are
expressions of hospitality in / 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.
