A Word From Senior Leaders

Bringing Our Mission to Life

At Valley, our mission of caring for our community like family reflects the depth of compassion we have for those we love when we see them in need. We hope this mission inspires trust and sets a high bar for the care provided. Each day we strive to provide the kind of remarkable care that we want for our loved ones. While our mission is focused on where we are today, our vision is all about where Valley is headed, our journey to be even better than we are now. It reflects our top priorities and core beliefs:

• SAFETY-- our core value
• We treat people with respect & compassion
• We embrace diversity, equity & inclusion
• We encourage collaboration & teamwork
• We promote innovation
• We expect excellence

Exponential growth across South King County means we must keep pace in order to continue to provide access to vital care for those we serve. We've taken steps to ensure that Valley is well poised to meet growing demand. We have continued to expand our clinic network to better serve patients closer to home, providing neighborhood primary and urgent care clinics to help residents contain costs by reducing unnecessary, expensive visits for emergency care. We now operate over 50 clinics in South King County staffed by nearly 900 Valley providers.

At Valley, we care for our community like family and it is our goal to ensure that spirit of camaraderie and excellence continue for generations to come.
