Our core values are the foundation of who we are. They are touch points for excellence and professionalism, the beacon guiding our decision-making, and the common core of behaviors that unite us as a workforce.
Tell the Truth – Be honest and transparent in all interactions
The “seed of life” mandala is a symbol within many cultures that is rooted in science, and is a representation of cells dividing. A symbol of beginnings, the purity of the interconnected circles within the mandala speaks to truth as a fundamental component of relationships.
Respect Everyone – Treat others as they would like to be treated
The uniqueness of each individual we interact with is represented in this work by a single heart. This heart is guarded, nurtured and protected by the interconnected hands of our Cincinnati Children’s family.
Work as a Team – Inspire, challenge and support colleagues, patients and families to advance the mission
A traditional symbol within Warli folk art from tribal peoples of India, this interconnected symbol of human figures represents balance and the harmony between individuals when working together.
Make a Difference – Go above and beyond in the service of others and Cincinnati Children’s
The tree of life is a symbol of growth, positivity and health. Like this tree, everything we do stems from our Core Values. As the tree grows, its canopy broadens. It flowers, bears fruit, and provides gifts and opportunities to serve the world as we change the outcome together.
