St John of God Health Care Annual Report 2015/16

It’s in how we respond

St John of God Health Care is a leading provider of high quality health care services that include hospitals, home nursing, disability and outreach services throughout Australia, New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific region.

The theme of this year’s Annual Report, ‘It’s in how we respond’ captures the unique way in which we respond to individuals and families in our care but also how we respond to each other, and to our valued partners, which is ultimately what positions us a leader in the delivery of quality health care in Australia.

Responding to each person, and to each other, from a perspective of openness and generosity, to provide a reason for hope and respecting each person’s dignity is at the core of our Mission and is encapsulated in Our Vision. It is lived by our caregivers every day, across all our divisions.
