Mission, Vision and Values

Our teammates live Sutter’s values on a daily basis as we support and provide high-quality, inclusive patient care. Sutter Health’s commitment to our values and diversity and inclusion does not stop at our doors. When conduct by our employees outside of work — online or off — impacts our patients, teammates or organization, our commitment to equality and non-discriminatory practices requires that we take action.

This includes responding when comments on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram use language or images that could be interpreted as intentionally inflammatory, promoting racism, sexism, homophobia and hate or endorsing violence. When such comments are associated with Sutter Health, either directly or indirectly, we will address the matter.

We value the trust placed in us to provide safe, equitable, compassionate care, and we take seriously any conduct that may erode that trust. When potentially problematic conduct is brought to our attention, we do a thorough review and consider the relevant facts. Our response to such situations may range from education and training to formal corrective action, up to and including separation from employment.

We remain committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment to work and receive quality, compassionate healthcare where all are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of race, gender, gender identity, age, disability, ethnicity, sexual orientation or religious belief.
