Mission and Values Statement

From Community Based Practices

The Vision of Community Based Practices is to promote the health of the people of our surrounding communities through leadership and innovation in clinical practice and community service. As an instrument of the State of North Carolina, we are concerned with both current needs and future generations, and have a special commitment to the underserved, mothers, children, the elderly, and other populations at risk in a time of rapid changes in the organization of health care.

Key elements of the vision include:

• Provision of innovative, comprehensive, high quality and cost effective health care. We aspire for this care to be patient and family oriented, community focused, and evidence-based.
• Development and maintenance of outstanding practicing physicians and other health care providers. We aspire to excellence among our health care providers, and fully leveraging information technology.
• Promotion of the discovery and dissemination of knowledge important to clinical practice, teaching and the improvements of the organization of health care. We aspire for our research to answer questions that matter in individual and population primary care.
• Working in partnership and service to individuals, community organizations and local, state and government agencies to address unmet health needs of the population. We aspire to a leadership role in improving the health of communities we serve.
• We envision and support a health care system that embodies compassion, fairness, equality, tolerance, personal responsibility, respect for individuals, and concern for and inclusion of family and community.
