Culture & Purpose

Our Culture

A strong culture doesn’t just happen. It’s made possible when employees share a set of core beliefs, commit to supporting one another, and are supported by the organization to be their best self. This means that regardless of the role or position, employees feel comfortable sharing ideas, asking questions and supporting each other to provide the best care and experiences for our patients.

Every employee at CentraCare has the opportunity to experience Our Best Begins with Me through an experiential learning session at the start of their employment. And all employees get to experience the culture through innovative ways employees connect with one another through shared stories and inspiration, opportunities to collaborate, and access to resources that support their journey.

Our Purpose

We hold a vision for all of us to live a healthy life. As a provider of care, employer to many, and a community Foundation, we encourage and inspire health and well-being. We also know there is a need for healing and comfort in every life, so at the heart of CentraCare is a commitment to the patients and families we serve in the communities we all call home:

We’re here for your whole life — to listen then serve, to guide and heal — because health means everything.

Each community we serve has historical roots. These roots share a purpose and leadership by caring people — sisters of faith, civic leaders, farmers, doctors, nurses and others. Then as now, our collective mission is to serve, providing expert health care that is close to home.
