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, OSF Saint Francis, Inc.
and OSF Health Plans, 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 we serve

Decision-making based on Catholic ethical principles and Catholic
social teachings in every activity of the system

providers to deliver comprehensive, integrated and quality health care

ourselves and with those we serve
