To make lives better together through health and healing. 

The Everett Clinic, part of Optum, has three core values that define its fundamental beliefs and guide its practices. Every employee that joins our team signs their name to these values as part of a Code of Integrity. 

We do what is right for each patient

• We continually strive to be patient-centered.
• We respect the uniqueness and honor the dignity of each patient with our words and unspoken acts.
• We communicate openly and honestly with our patients.
• Our patients are partners in their healthcare. We honor their right to share in decision-making.
• We hold patient confidentiality in the highest regard.
• We protect the integrity of the patient record.

We provide an enriching and supportive workplace

• We provide a safe and healthy workplace for employees, visitors and patients.
• We create an environment where individuals can continually evolve and grow, both personally and professionally.
• We provide an environment free of harassment or discrimination in any form, where any person may respectfully raise concerns about any issue.
• We are an equal opportunity employer, hiring the best individuals regardless of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, disability, sexual orientation or age.
• We communicate honestly and fairly with community members, families, vendors, competitors, outside contractors and payers.

• We strive to create a positive experience of care for each patient.
• We promote high-quality care that is safe, timely, effective, efficient, equitable and patient focused.
• We continually learn in order to provide the highest quality of evidence-based care for our patients.
