Leadership Vision
What is an organization without a vision? The vision objective puts the organizations values and goals into simplified terms every member of the team can understand and share.

My vision revolves around the mission statement, “To provide the highest level of care, one patient at a time, with meticulous attention to quality of care; serving with compassion and a dedication to improving health awareness and literacy among patients”. While simple and direct, I feel that this statement best summarizes my leadership vision for the future of nursing and institutional healthcare.

The key concepts of my vision are: a) Enhanced quality of care, compassionate “patient-first” service, b) dedication to healthcare literacy, and c) effectively changing the level of health awareness one patient at a time. Through these avenues, I believe that the level of co-morbidities seen in our patients can be significantly reduced. The vision will also help one to realize that the average citizen is not as proficient in health education as the allied professional.
Compassion in healthcare is essential to patient interaction. Often, patients come to us with preconceived notions of from past or recent experiences influencing them in their attitudes towards healthcare professionals and their own health. ”Burned-out” nurses become stressed and develop the ability to disconnect from their
