Employee Values

At the heart of the care we deliver is a strong foundation of shared values and expectations. Why is this important? Well, we know that our success fully depends on talented professionals like you. We also believe that excellence comes from within. Our values and expectations are designed to bring out the best in every single member of the Lakeland Regional Medical Center family.

Care:
Care means thoughtfully serving the needs of others on all levels, including the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of patients and families. It's lending a helping hand, being a good listener and appreciating different ideas.

Stewardship:
Serving the healthcare needs of our community requires the most effective use of all resources. From taking care of hospital property and equipment to using time, talents and supplies wisely, good stewards are ambassadors of LRMC both here and out in the community.

Integrity:
Doing the right thing is essential to ensuring integrity. It also requires being sincere, honest, fair, forgiving and trusting.

Quality:
Pursuing the highest standards of care and safety is all about looking for ways to do your job better every day. It's about making changes to improve quality and service, to keep everyone safe and to exceed expectations.

Accountability:
We're all responsible for our actions. We know and do what is expected. We reach out to others for help and think of them before we act. And we strike a balance between life and work.

Courtesy:
Kind and polite interactions. Please and thank you. Introducing yourself to others. Respectful language and communication. It's the little things that go a long way.

You'll see our values in action every day – employees working as a team, often coming together under stressful conditions, to get the job done and help the patient.
