Healing Not Hate
In 2021, we launched our Healing Not Hate platform. In return for the care we provide, we ask that our patients respect those with whom they come into contact, regardless of their race, culture, ethnicity, religion, ability, gender or sexual orientation. This platform was recognized as a best practice in health care during a Press Ganey presentation.

The site has grown to include videos and other content recognizing and celebrating team members.
