We will serve as a center of community life in Fields Corner and as a critical resource for all of Dorchester. With a diversity of programs, services and staff, Dorchester House will continue to offer a welcoming environment for all.
Dorchester House will be known for clinical excellence, offering exceptional care that values and reflects the cultural diversity of our neighborhood. We will be looked to as a model for providing care for all, regardless of ability to pay. We will be known for our leadership in promoting the health of our entire community and we will continue to seek opportunities to integrate public health priorities with our clinical care.
As a large business and major employer, we will be recognized as a substantial contributor to the economy of our community and city. Our organization will be governed by our community and our consumers, to whom all who work at Dorchester House will be accountable. We will attract and retain skilled and motivated staff and we will aggressively cultivate a work environment designed to ensure the highest levels of job satisfaction. We will remain dedicated to training future health professionals for service in the community, fulfilling our role as an academic community health center.
We will offer ourselves as a resource for information and technology, benefitting the residents of our community, our partners and ourselves. We will be tireless champions and advocates for public policy that benefits the most vulnerable among us.
The financial health of our organization will be an integral component of our dedication to service excellence. Our strategic development will reflect the value of partnership. Accordingly, we will initiate and participate in networks of care that will be models of collaboration and we will bring new benefits and services to our community.
