"We the employees of Novant and our physician partners, will deliver the most remarkable patient experience, in every dimension, every time." 
That's Novant Health's Vision. We believe this is the number one job responsibility of every employee in every department.
Each of our healthcare facilities meets a unique need in the communities we serve and provides a dynamic setting where staff can contribute to our not-for-profit mission and experience the professional satisfaction of working in healthcare. We foster an atmosphere of mutual respect founded on our organization's values of Compassion, Diversity, Personal Excellence and Teamwork.
Novant Health is proud of our employees' commitment to service and their willingness to reach out to the disadvantaged and needy of our neighborhoods and communities. Novant employees and their families take part in walks, runs and fitness fairs. They also volunteer using clinical and technical skills with United Way agencies or other non-profits life the Rescue Mission, March of Dimes, Cancer Society and a variety of other civic organizations. And our health system and staff provide free and discounted care to the uninsured of our local communities.
Our health system and staff are involved with charities throughout North Carolina and beyond. For instance, North Carolina residents are no strangers to the devastation that hurricanes can bring. That's why Novant employees sprung into action in 2005 to help other Americans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Our employees staffed the Charlotte Coliseum as evacuees arrived, joined a State Medical Assistance Team (SMAT) in Mississippi, and donated time, money and supplies.
For over a decade one of Novant's hospitals has contributed lab services to a group of children who live in an area of Belarus contaminated by the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Children are hosted by families in our communities and have their lab work performed at our laboratory. Prolonged exposure to radiation can potentially damage children's immune systems, leading to illnesses such as leukemia and thyroid disease. The yearly visits to the U.S. permit their health to be monitored and provide a six-week respite from the stresses of living in a radiation zone. In addition to the laboratory tests, area physicians, dentists and eye professionals donate services during the children's stay.
We're proud of our heritage. Novant Health does not discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran's status or sexual orientation with regard to admission, treatment, or participation in its programs, services and activities, or in employement. And we believe in our mission, to "improve the health of communities, one person at a time."
