Mount Sinai Hospital Montreal’s mission statement defines the credo by which we govern our actions in the care of those who require our services.
It’s not just about care, it’s about caring. - We will abide by the tradition developed since the turn of the century when the leaders of the Jewish community sought to establish the first respiratory care institution to serve its population.
- In caring for all in a non-sectarian manner, we will seek to provide the best possible care in our area of specialty, respiratory medicine, as well as in palliative care medicine and specialized long-term care medicine.
- We will diligently take part in research projects with the aim of identifying medical and technological advances and seek to develop cost-effective and comprehensive health care approaches with particular emphasis in our areas of expertise.
- Through dynamic and focused outreach programs, we will promote health awareness and education as well as disease prevention among our patients, their families and the general community.
It’s not just about patients, it’s about people. - Each patient will be recognized as an individual with personal attention to all needs including those of family members.
- We will recruit the best available staff members and ensure their on-going training. We will work to foster within Mount Sinai a climate of personal growth and integrity, equity and fairness. We will also provide a healthy and efficient working environment for our entire medical team, staff and volunteers.
- The Auxiliary will help to enhance the quality of life of patients and their families through a growing feeling of sharing and caring.
It’s not just about human beings, it’s about being human. - Our staff will dedicate itself to excellence by delivering humane and effective care in a warm and home-like atmosphere.
- At all times we will focus our care to maximize our patients' quality of life. Whenever possible, we will endeavor to ensure their early return to the community and to an active life with their families.
- In our desire to continuously improve our services and enhance our patients' care, we will be respectful of human needs and suffering and remain centered on the values we share among ourselves.
It’s not just about meeting standards, it’s about raising standards. - Our leaders and staff will endeavor to constantly offer state-of-the-art medical equipment, treatment and rehabilitation facilities to all those seeking care.
- We will strive to maintain and widen our status as a McGill University affiliated hospital.
- We will continue to work with other institutions in the continuing education of healthcare professionals.
- We will constantly strive to meet the standards of the Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation, which accredits Canadian healthcare institutions.
