Our Philosophy

The staff has adhered to the phrase created by Aristotle and accentuated by Nursing Theorist Martha Rogers “The whole is More than the Sum of its Parts”. Complete wellness is achieved only with positive connection of the mind, body and spirit. In summarizing many definitions, this approach puts the patient at the center and addresses the complete spectrum of the physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual and environmental influences that affect a person’s health.
