There is no limit to what our care can do
Care is more than what we provide to our patients. Care — without judgment, without hesitation — is our contribution to the world we live in. Others make things or sell things. We care for people. Not some people, not certain people. Everybody in our community. Because caring deeply, caring as much as we possibly can, is our one and only purpose.
At Norton Healthcare, care heals. Care connects us. Care builds buildings. Care finds cures and funds technology. We get up in the morning because we care. We stay late, we innovate, because we care. There is no limit to what our care can do — for our employees, our patients and our community.
