CoxHealth and its employees, volunteers, medical staff members, students and Board of Directors (collectively referred to herein as “members”) have a reputation in the community of being a quality organization with quality individuals; an organization that operates honestly; an organization that has both respect and compassion for those we serve. CoxHealth will protect this reputation and our integrity through the enforcement of its policies and procedures.
We are called upon to perform our jobs and carry out many responsibilities. Leaders are to set the example by promoting the highest standards of ethics and compliance with the federal and state regulations and CoxHealth policies and procedures.
