Values
Our values define our philosophy of care.
They shape our actions and motivate and inspire us to pursue excellence and achieve the goals we have set forth for the future. Our values include:
Humanity: Our physicians, nurses and other clinical and support staff serve with extraordinary care and compassion. These attributes are rooted in a rich history that began more than 125 years ago when Montefiore was established to care for patients with debilitating and chronic illnesses. We see our patients as people first, with a set of values, beliefs and experiences that shape their needs and our care.
Innovation: Our innovative delivery system, research endeavors and use of technology to improve how care is provided are fundamental to our success. Together, Montefiore and Einstein advance clinical and translational research to facilitate the transformation of new discoveries into treatments and therapies that benefit our patients. We are never satisfied with the status quo and are always challenging ourselves to elevate to a new level of patient care.
