Professional Image Philosophy

We are committed to a culture that surrounds the patient in a positive experience. That experience is dependent on every colleague — from the most immediate caregiver to the colleague who may encounter a patient in passing — delivering our unique, inclusive approach to care through a series of experiences that inspire the relationship of trusted health partner for life.

To do this, each of us as health care professionals must reflect this in our dress, our body language and our demeanor — in every aspect of our presentation. Your appearance is a reflection of your expertise and pride in your role.

The influence of our everyday appearance cannot be denied. Our patients look to each of us as a statement of our culture and our brand. Their perceptions of our professional competency and quality of health care are greatly impacted by the way we present ourselves.

The professional image standards are intended to promote professionalism, enhance patient relations and achieve consistency in colleague image expectations for our organization.

Day in and day out, your appearance will remind our patients that they can rely on you for your professionalism and commitment to providing personalized care out of respect for each individual as a person, not just a patient.
