We believe every person has a right to:
· Equitable, ethical, accessible quality health care that promotes healing and health
· Health care that respects human dignity, individuality and diversity among groups
· Complete and accurate information to make informed health care decisions
· Self-determination and active participation in health care decisions
· Involvement of a woman's designated family members, to the extent desired, in all health care experiences
We honor the normalcy of women's lifecycle events. We believe in:
· Watchful waiting and non-intervention in normal processes
· Appropriate use of interventions and technology for current or potential health problems
· Consultation, collaboration and referral with other members of the health care team as needed to provide optimal health care
We believe the best model of health care for a woman and her family:
· Promotes a continuous and compassionate partnership
· Acknowledges a person's life experiences and knowledge
· Includes individualized methods of care and healing guided by the best evidence available
· Involves therapeutic use of human presence and skillful communication
