Caring for our patients is our top priority. As the largest health care system in Oklahoma, we feel it's our responsibility to provide you with resources and services to improve the health of the citizens of our great state.
When INTEGRIS Health decided to develop a vision statement for the organization, we wanted feedback from our most valuable commodity — our employees. More than 1,500 INTEGRIS Health employees were involved in discussions or surveys to develop our vision.
We feel it says a lot about who we are — we value trust as a guiding principle — and we aspire to be recognized for that. It is a big vision, but it is also a very personal one. From front-line to physician, from management to medicine, each of our employees can, and must, resolve to be the "most-trusted" in our given areas of responsibility, day-in and day-out. It is a commitment to one another as well.
