STATEMENT OF PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY

We care about people. That is why we are here, and caring for them is our business Therefore, we acknowledge their care to be our primary concern. And, we will share with them those things we know to be of value. And therefore, we will orchestrate our activities to help them in all ways which we can.

We look at our patients as friends and clients rather than as only patients. Therefore, we will extend courtesy and consideration to all our relationships and will expect the same in return.

We value the basic integrity of all people. Therefore, we enter all relationships with trust. And therefore, we will not be judgmental of anyone nor their values and will communicate openly and honestly.

We understand that there is risk in all relationships. Therefore, we recognize that the opportunity for failure is always present, and it should occur only when we have failed with values clarification.

We believe in comparative values. Therefore, We expect a fair exchange between all parties. We are fundamentally oriented to wellness. Therefore, our activities are directed to those things that can enhance our patient's ability to be well.

We believe that illness is not to be presumed. Therefore, our activities must primarily be oriented to an understanding and correction of those factors that deny wellness.

We believe that because of environmental, cultural, and intellectual circumstances not all people understand wellness and what it means. Therefore, We presume the responsibility of their values clarification.

We believe in the process of progress. Therefore, we presume change and growth.

We believe the process of growth is individual. Therefore, we accept people as they are. And, that they will grow when they are ready to grow. And, that all growth occurs at the feeling level because true learning can only occur there.

We believe that we can best serve others by first serving ourselves. Therefore, we work to gain education and improvement. And, we will look for fulfillment within our own lives.

We believe that our services reflect the philosophy of the team. Therefore, we will provide only those services that are in keeping with our philosophy.

We are committed to excellence. Therefore, we will do our very best in all relationships and all tasks.

We believe that we work best as a team. Therefore, we expect a synergistic co-operative effort by all members to reinforce the effectiveness of the team.

We are a business. Therefore, we expect a fair exchange of value between our patient's fees and our services. And, we expect to provide adequate funds to perpetuate the orientation of our business to our philosophy. And, to do business in keeping with our philosophy it is important to compensate our team members so that they feel more than adequately rewarded. It is a prerequisite to realize a profit which can be appropriately shared between all team members and the business.

Based on these beliefs, we believe that we must continually enhance our opportunity for personal growth and goal achievement, and to always share these opportunities with our patients when it is appropriate to them, and when they are ready.
