Westhab's staff formally adopted the following
Values Statement on November 8, 2001, and
reviews it quarterly, at staff meetings, to insure
that it remains fresh in our minds and serves
a s a focal point for our efforts:
Westhab is a human services organization where
values are of central importance, both in what
we do and how we do it. The following are the
values most important to us:
INTEGRITY: We have the moral conviction to put
our principles into action. We are honest in our
work, and are accountable, even in the face of
adversity.
PROFESSIONALISM:
We have a shared commitment to the highest standards
of conduct and performance in all the things we
do.
 RESPECT:
We recognize the dignity and worth of each person
we encounter and strive to treat others as we
would want to be treated. We are sensitive to
the pride and cultures of those who may be different
from us.
Remembering these values and incorporating them
into our work every day strengthens our ability
to serve those in need and enhances our efforts
to create community within our programs.
