About FAIRHOPE Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc.

FAIRHOPE Core Values

FAIRHOPE Hospice is a 501c3 not-for-profit organization. We are dedicated to our patients, employees, and community. We ask you to commit to living the core values of the organization:

Be A Team Player: A team is “we”. Our philosophy is We over me. We celebrate everyone’s success. Be respectful of everyone’s ideas and opinions. Have a “how can I help?” attitude vs an “it’s not my job” attitude. Be forward-thinking and goal-oriented. Talk the talk, walk the walk.

Have Accountability/Follow-Through: Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, but be willing to learn from them. Take ownership to be responsive and produce timely, quality work. Be reliable. Do what you say you’re going to do. Stick to your word.

Lead By Example: Recognize the importance of your role by being committed, passionate, and present. Take initiative. Go above and beyond and be a self-starter. Have a passion for the work we do and the people we serve.
