The Medical Center at Bowling Green, mcbg.org, is a not-for-profit hospital that is under the operation of Commonwealth Health Corporation (CHC). It is one of six sister hospitals under the management of CHC, serving the southern KY areas. It is the largest hospital of that corporation. TriStar Greenview Regional Hospital, tristargreenviewregional.com, is a for-profit hospital that’s a part of the TriStar Health organization, which serves southcentral Kentucky and middle Tennessee areas. Both facilities are located in Bowling Green, KY.
Between my two examples of for-profit and not-for-profit, both organizations had mission statements that stated they want to serve their communities through high quality care, and both claim to appreciate the staff members "with respect". TriStar goes on to say that because they are a part of a large network of hospitals, patients have more access to services whatever the need may be. Although Greenview does not provide a vision statement, they do go into more detail about what they value. I liked how they said "We recognize and affirm the unique and intrinsic worth of each individual". This is a very nice and different way to say that they want to give individualized care to each person who walks through their doors, which I find very appealing. I also liked that they made their all their value statements about people, patients and employees. This makes them seem personable. I do like the vision statement provided by Medical Center because it shows their aspirations as a facility to want to be the very best in the community. The Medical Center also provided specific values they find important, one of which being accountability. “Each of us is responsible for managing our resources ethically and wisely.” I find this statement interesting because it is a great point that each person who is providing care to patients should and will be held accountable for their actions.
