CORE VALUES

At RightSite Health, we do more than profess our values. We practice them through an agreed-upon and shared set of behaviors that make up our DNA. We are clear about what is important to us, and we take care that our intentions, words, thoughts, and behaviors align with those values.

Teamwork: We have the courage to ask for help and fearlessly share information with team members. We are driven to help each other and share in the wins and losses.

Customer Focus: We deliver value and treat our customers with the same care, compassion, and empathy we would expect ourselves. We are committed to improving the lives of our customers, their customers, and each other.

Tenacity: We recognize ambiguity and discomfort are part of success and approach change with positivity. We accept adversity, overcome obstacles, and never give up.

Ownership: We take personal accountability for our actions and results and focus on solving the problem instead of assigning blame. We are free to place bets and embrace failure for its feedback and experiences.

Critical Thinking: We start with why, listen carefully and investigate thoroughly before drawing conclusions. We think slow, not fast, in search of elegant and simple solutions.
