QUOTES:

 

“You could have great team members and you could have great systems and protocols, but if they didn’t work well together, it still created a lot of problems.”

 

“If our team doesn’t know our core values, then it’s very hard for them to replicate that in the care of the patients every day.”

 

“When we talk about quality, we look at Accurate, Detailed and Complete.”

 

“We need to be able to enjoy where we go to work every day. We can’t fake it forever.”
