Mission:
 In the spirit
of Christ and the example of Francis of Assisi, the Mission of OSF HealthCare is
to serve persons with the greatest care and love in a community that celebrates
the Gift of Life.
Vision
Recognizing God’s great gift of
life, we will be a Community of Caregivers pursuing perfection in healthcare
quality, safety, service and financial integrity.
This Vision
refers to all components of OSF Healthcare including OSF Healthcare System, OSF
Healthcare Foundation and OSF Saint Francis, Inc.
Philosophy and
Values:
We, The
Sisters of The Third Order of St. Francis believe: That led by the Spirit of the
Gospels and the example of St. Francis, the special purpose of our existence as
a corporation is to provide for the total well being of those we serve.
That every
person, created in the image of God and composed of body and soul, is a human
being endowed with intellect and free will, completely dependent upon God for
existence and destined to possess God in heavenly beatitude. Because of the
dignity of the human person and his moral conscience, each person has certain
God-given rights with corresponding obligations toward his Creator, his fellow
man and himself.
OSF
HealthCare fulfills, through a service of love and compassion, a mission of
caring and peace consistent with the needs of the Church and the people served.
The love of Christ permeates its work as it strives to continue the healing
ministry of Christ and His Church to the total person; to be love, mercy,
inspiration, tenderness and compassion to those whose lives are entered.
From this
philosophy flow these values which permeate all of our endeavors:
-
JUSTICE:
Personal worth and dignity of every person we serve regardless of race, color,
religion and ability to pay
-
COMPASSION:
Caring response to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the people
