OUR MISSION
We are a team dedicated to strengthening the health and well-being of Onkweshon:’a by providing in partnership with others, quality and holistic services that respond to the needs of the community.
OUR VALUES
Being thankful is important to us. It is how we were taught to start our day, recognizing all that creation has given to us to work and live with. It is one of our greatest gifts, one that has been preserved and passed on to us; we will share it with others.
We value respect, responsibility, consensus, and consultation; these are strong traditional Kanien’kehá:ka principles that are helpful to our work with the community.
We honor and appreciate honest and helpful feedback as this practice will help us become more effective.
We believe in accountability, confidentiality, excellence, and competence as they are the foundations to achieving the confidence and trust of our community.
We value caring for others the same way we would like to be cared for with respect for privacy, autonomy and dignity. We value our extended family network as they are an important partner for caring for our users.
