The philosophy of Mount St Mary Hospital emanates from the Hospitals healing mission and is inspired by the values of the Sisters of St Ann through The Marie Esther Society

WE BELIEVE THAT

Justice Competence and Excellence Responsibility and Accountability and
Hope best reflect the healing ministry of Jesus and all who are involved
with Mount St Mary shall be guided in their actions by these core values

under all circumstances first consideration is given to the needs of the
residents

holistic quality care for each resident is best provided through an
interdisciplinary team that supports the centrality of the resident

our primary purposes are to relieve suffering support a sense of hope and
to create a supportive environment where residents can attain their maximum
potential or a peaceful death

palliative care which provides compassionate care directed toward improving
the quality of life for the dying is integral to our Mission

special emphasis on pastoral care services for residents of all faiths is a
primary need

all residents are entitled to undisturbed time and a place where they may
have privacy when their desire for privacy is consistent with their care
program and when it does not endanger their safety Privacy includes the
security of personal possessions

family friends and the wider community provide an essential contribution
to the wellbeing of the residents

each employee and volunteer makes an important contribution to the quality
of life for our residents

employees who are involved in decisionmaking about their work and working
environment are more creative and accountable in providing quality care and
solving problems on behalf of residents coworkers and visitors

in order to serve our community we must be fiscally responsible committed
to environmental sensitivity and work in collaboration with other
components of the health system
