Compassion is one of the five core values of Skagit Regional Health. This value states:

We strive to better understand our diverse communities and treat those we serve – and each other – with respect and kindness.

Compassion is the heartbeat of healthcare, uniting professionals across disciplines in their shared commitment to care. At Skagit Regional Health, compassion is a core value that underscores the importance of understanding the diverse needs of the community. It calls on every team member to treat patients, families and colleagues with care and kindness, fostering an environment of trust and healing. This value reminds us that empathy and respect are every bit as vital as clinical expertise when it comes to delivering exceptional care. By embracing compassion, our healthcare providers create meaningful connections that uplift the patients they serve, and also strengthen their teams.

It begins with an open mind. Watch this video to listen to Peter Wold, MSW, describe his stance on the core value of compassion.
