Mission & Values

Our Mission

Olympia Fields Campus Chapel

Continuing Christ's ministry in our Franciscan tradition. /p>

From the respect and consideration we show patients, physicians and co-workers every day, to the compassionate care we provide to our patients and their families, every member of the St. James team lives and works according to our Franciscan Values.

Our Values

• Respect for Life: Each person is treated with such joy, respect, dignity, fairness and compassion that he or she is consciously aware of being loved.
• Fidelity to our Mission: We show loyalty and pride in Franciscan St. James through joy and respect in ministering to our patients, visitors, and co-workers.
• Compassionate Concern: In openness and concern for the welfare of our patients, especially the aged, the poor and the disabled, we work with select associations and organizations to provide a continuum of care commensurate with the individual's needs.
• Joyful Service: The Franciscan presence at St. James Health expresses itself in joyful availability, compassionate and respectful care, and stewardship and loyalty to our mission.
• Christian Stewardship: We justly and fairly allocate human, spiritual, physical and financial resources, respectful of the individual, responsible to the needs of society, and consistent with Church teachings.
