For more than a decade, all SCA Health teammates and physician partners come together to nominate and recognize those who best represent our values through our Values Heroes program.
SCA Health is proud to recognize our 2023 Values Heroes. This award is one of the most meaningful forms of recognition at SCA Health and honors teammates who consistently exemplify our seven core values in the way they care for patients, work with fellow teammates, and serve our physicians.
A staple of our Annual Leadership Meeting (ALM), our Values Heroes Program is centered on celebrating our value-oriented culture, and the teammates who consistently exemplify our :
- Clinical Quality
- Integrity
- Service Excellence
