"Since 1906 RRHS has proudly served the healthcare needs of people throughout Rutherford County County and surround- ing communities," said Becca Segal, CEO. "As part of Duke LifePoint Healthcare, we are building upon this legacy and strength- ening our hospital for the future." Segal added, "We are fortunate that Duke LifePoint shares our commitment to improving the overall health and wellbeing of our communities, and ensuring that peo- ple here have access to quality care close to home. We consider it a privilege to serve as your local healthcare leader, and we are proud to be part of a company that is genu- inely committed to such meaningful work." To deepen its connection with Duke Life- Point and strengthen its culture, RRHS has chosen to adopt a Mission, Vision and set of Guiding Principles (known as the "High Five") that are consistent with fellow Duke LifePoint Healthcare and LifePoint Health facilities. RRHS' new mission is Making Commu- nities Healthier®. To achieve this mission, Segal noted, RRHS will focus on the vi- sion to create places where people choose to come for healthcare, physicians want to practice and employees want to work. RRHS will also be guided by a set of High Five Guiding Principles: 1. Delivering high quality patient care; 2. Supporting physicians; 3. Creating excellent workplaces for our employees; 4. Taking a leadership role in our communi- ties; and 5. Ensuring fi scal responsibility. "Finally," Segal explained, "Duke Life- Point has articulated its commitment to us through the following Promise to our com- munity: Duke LifePoint promises to engage with our patients and people, lead quality innovation and advance knowledge to im- prove health in the communities we serve. We have felt this promise in meaningful ways, and our commitment to you is to keep you informed of how Duke LifePoint continues to deliver and support our hospi- tal and community." She concluded, "The next time you visit RRHS you may see posters and banners about our new Mission, Vision, High Five Guiding Principles and Duke LifePoint Promise. We want you to see how these concepts are being embraced by our hos- pital, so I encourage you to ask our em- ployees, physicians and volunteers about how they are making communities healthi- er. I also invite you to join us as we continue to look for new ways to achieve this mission each day."
