IU Health has been on a path to understand what we needed to do to create a healthy culture for all, including how we serve our patients, how we do our work and how we treat each other. When it came to identifying the characteristics that united us, thousands of team members weighed in on the traits they felt were most important to delivering on our promise and achieving our vision. Four values quickly rose to the top: Purpose, Excellence, Team and Compassion. Together, they became one of the foundational element of our culture- The IU Health Way. These values are the core to who we are and the work we do: Purpose...we work to do good in the lives of all others Excellence...we do our best at all times and in new ways Compassion...we treat all people with respect, kindness and empathy Team...we count on and care for each other
