To be part of our organization, every employee should understand and share in the YNHHS Vision, support our Mission, and live our Values. These values - integrity, patient-centered, respect, accountability, and compassion - must guide what we do, as individuals and professionals, every day.

The Emergency Physician maintains the unique skill of balancing clinical and technical excellence with compassion and kindness. Having the ability to change gears allows the successful emergency physician to adapt to the constantly changing needs of the department. Emergency Physicians approach every patient without judgement or prejudice and work to bring the team together to ensure a harmonious approach to patient care. The Emergency Physician is the team leader, and is expected to maintain professionalism with patients, families, colleagues and the many staff that work around and within the Emergency Departments.
