Excellence – We continuously explore, learn, innovate, adapt and support each other to be our very best selves.
Inclusivity – We promote a welcoming and equitable opportunity environment where individuals and communities of all life experiences, identities, ancestries, and roles feel heard, valued, respected and empowered.
Integrity – We uphold the highest standards in our work and our relationships; to ensure decisions are evidence-based and actions are grounded in transparency, honesty, authenticity and mutual respect.
Operating Principles
Working Together for Greater Impact: We harmonize efforts across sites, regions, and with partners to transform the learning health system and to create inter-organizational communities. We develop and maintain mutually beneficial relationships and collaborations with patients, health partners and communities and ignite collective efforts to achieve positive province-wide impact for the health of British Columbians and to contribute to the global knowledge in health.
Being a Responsive and Sustainable Organization: We demonstrate our responsiveness to evolving health needs and our commitment to making a positive impact towards wellbeing and planetary health by embedding flexible and sustainable processes and practices throughout our organization and aligning resources with strategic priorities.
