To lead in providing and supporting quality healthcare. Our mission statement although concise is very meaningful. First, "to lead" states very clearly that Sheridan Memorial Hospital exists to set the tone for healthcare in the Sheridan area; the organization will be forward thinking and set direction for the future. Second, it implies that Sheridan Memorial Hospital not only exists to provide healthcare, but also to support healthcare as ordered by our physician partners. This is an important distinction as the hospital recognizes that it exists in an environment of collaboration and partnership and would not be able to exists solely upon its own merits. Third, the mission refers to quality healthcare. Quality healthcare represents both clinical and service excellence, leading to patient and family member experiences that will build confidence and help us achieve our vision.
