Your primary care leadership team is driven by the concept of servant leadership. A servant-leader focuses primarily on the growth and well-being of people and the communities to which they belong.

The servant-leader shares power, puts the needs of others first, and helps people develop and perform as highly as possible. It is in this service that your leadership team is committed to providing you a rewarding and positive professional experience.
