Our Core Values

We fulfill our mission through adherence and commitment to …

… Leadership in Partnership

Through our organization’s commitment to a clear and cohesive vision regarding health issues as these impact our quality of life, we aim to catalyze interdisciplinary reflection, inclusive dialogue, as well as sustainable and evolving collaboration with community agencies, nonprofit organizations, business entities, governmental bodies, educational institutions, healthcare providers and others, so as to best articulate our funding priorities and leverage our resources towards improved health strategies within the City of Riverside.

… Self-Definition in Diversity

We are committed to the difficult processes of self-transformation, whereby the various economic, educational, and cultural layers of our diverse communities continuously challenge, educate and enlarge our cognitive, emotional and social contexts, at both individual and institutional levels.

… Thoughtful Innovation

Through informed risk-taking in our decision-making processes, we engage in a systematized process of multi-path information feedback with our Board of Directors, our donors, our staff, and our various constituencies and partnerships, so as to constantly improve upon our cohesive delivery of creative responses to community health needs.

… Core Integrity

We manage our financial as well as human resources professionally and responsibly in order to maximize our impact within the community and maintain our fiscal and ethical credibility in the eyes of all. We seek openness of communication, fairness of interaction and honesty of practices.

… Embrace of Accountability

We believe that the full realization of our potential is immediately contingent upon clearly identified reporting structures and processes of implementation and evaluation that recognize as well as enhance individual responsibilities and jurisdictions, while seeking to effectively integrate these sequentially for optimized outcomes in project delivery.
