The Cypress Health Region's Board and Senior Leadership Team developed the following vision, mission, and values in partnership with the region's staff.

The region's leadership group was engaged to provide feedback on draft purpose statements, which were altered to reflect the comments received.  In addition, the leadership group prioritized the Region's values to create a 'values hierarchy' which will act as a decision making framework for staff throughout the region.

The staff of the region were further consulted in defining the region's values.  Many excellent definitions were presented to the Board for consideration and adoption.  These staff definitions are used to further explain the values, and to demonstrate how we can live these values each and every day.
