All of us associated with CHI have a duty to act in a manner that is consistent with our core values; to contribute to the common good; and to defend human dignity, especially for people who are poor and vulnerable.  We adhere to the following standards of conduct:

Exercise good faith and honesty in all dealings and transactions. Create a workplace that fosters community and honors and cares for the dignity, safety and well being of all persons in mind, body and spirit. Maintain a high level of knowledge and skill among all who serve in order to provide high quality care and safety. Observe all laws, regulations and policies that govern what we do. Maintain the integrity and protect the confidentiality of patient, resident, employee and organizational information. Avoid conflicts of interest and/or the appearance of conflicts. Use our resources responsibly.
