We are committed to operational readiness; outstanding customer service; maintaining excellent graduate medical and dental education and research; and always delivering premier quality health care within an integrated health system. Roughly 7,000 dedicated staff members make it their daily mission to achieve the vision and mission of the medical center. Those who come through our doors come to heal, stay healthy, help others, teach the next generation, practice quality medicine and take part in cutting-edge clinical research.
