Our Values

Montefiore Medical Center’s core ethical and social values guide our decision making and define our philosophy of care. Our values shape our actions and motivate and inspire us to pursue excellence and achieve our goals.

	Humanity Our physicians, nurses and staff serve with extraordinary care and compassion. These attributes are rooted in a rich history that began more than 125 years ago when Montefiore was established to care for patients with debilitating and chronic illnesses. Our concern for those we serve leads us to continually seek new and improved ways to provide treatments and cures for patients everywhere.
	Innovation Our innovative delivery system, research endeavors and use of technology are key to our success in ensuring patient safety and delivering the highest-quality care. Together, Montefiore and Albert Einstein College of Medicine advance clinical and translational research to facilitate the transformation of new discoveries into treatments and therapies that benefit our patients.
	Teamwork At Montefiore, our collaborative approach ensures a culture of participation, learning and respect. We value the knowledge and specialized expertise of our colleagues who contribute vital insights and new perspectives in pursuit of a common goal. By bringing together multidisciplinary teams, we improve the quality of patient care, enhance patient safety and provide the broadest range of expertise possible. Our physicians value the importance of patient and family involvement in treatment and work to provide education and answers to questions at every stage of care.
	Diversity We embrace our diverse workforce and community, knowing that it is an intrinsic part of who we are. Montefiore is proud of its heritage of serving residents of the Bronx as well as patients from across the nation and around the globe. Recognizing that different backgrounds bring new contributions to patient care and medical advances, we are committed to recruiting and retaining candidates that reflect this diversity.
	Equity Our actions are the result of a deep belief in fairness to all those we serve. We are committed to offering access to vital programs and exceptional care to all patients regardless of race, gender, sexual preference, social or economic status. Through our investments in staff, research and technology, we strive to continuously improve the health and well-being of our community and to advocate for access to healthcare for those in need.
