| Our values statements represent Joining Hands Health Center's core beliefs, which inspire and guide our choices in our operations and in dealing with people. |
|
|
|
Well-Being |
We define personal well-being as health, comfort, and happiness - mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially.
Knowing that everyone is a work in progress leads us to provide services that address a wide variety of physical and mental health issues. |
|
|
|
Compassion |
We have a heartfelt concern for all who seek our services - genuine awareness of their distress and an enthusiastic desire to alleviate their suffering.
Our compassion manifests itself through considered encouragement, respect for privacy, conversing politely, and appropriate patient advocacy. |
|
|
|
Excellence |
Excellence is being our best at all times.
As an organization, excellence will only be achieved if there is an unrelenting focus on screening, growth and development, and evaluation. |
|
|
|
Integrity |
Integrity is a core principle of our organization. We are entrusted with our supporters’ generosity every day and engender this trust through transparency in our actions and communications.
We believe integrity is essential in big and small things, and that character is what we do when no one is looking over our shoulder.
Everyone in our organization makes responsible choices personally and professionally so that what we say and what we do, reflects our commitment to integrity that our donors and patients deserve. |
|
|
|
Acceptance |
We provide gentle, nonjudgmental, sensitive healthcare for all our clients without regard to lifestyle, race, creed, nationality, or other distinguishing characteristics.
We view our patients as sunrises. When we consider a sunrise, we don’t find ourselves saying, “soften the orange a bit on the right-hand corner.” Instead, we watch with awe as the sun rises. It is in this manner that we extend love and compassion to all our clients. |
|
|
|
Respect |
We deeply value those we serve and respect them for their humanity. Their lack of access to health insurance doesn’t change the way we see them.
We perceive patients as men and women who partner with us to change the future of their own lives and those of their families. Our kindness toward them helps encourage a personal sense of value. |

Why should I consider making a pledge?
|
|
| Imagine if you were asked to come to work at our clinic not knowing if it would survive? Will your job still be there in a year – 2 years – 5 years?
If you’re considering leaving a job or business that’s well-established I’m sure you would want to have reasonable assurance that it will be a long-term position.
In addition, many foundations look at sustainability of an organization before they are willing to make significant grants. It’s only reasonable to make sure that their money will not be wasted.
A healthy pool of pledges says to them that we have the support of our community for the long haul.
As this is written we are grateful for total pledges of just under $48,000 per year for the next 5 years on an annual budget of $350,000.00. Your participation as a partner will help tremendously.
Will you consider joining our circle? – you may join at one of our pre-defined levels OR pledge an amount that is comfortable for you to help our neighbors.
|
|
|
There are four levels in the Joining Hands Circle representing different levels of financial commitment:
Circle of Gratitude: | $1,200 | per year for 5 years ($100 per month) |
Circle of Joy: | $12,000 | per year for 5 years ($1,000 per month) |
Circle of Love: | $24,000 | per year for 5 years ($2,000 per month) |
Circle of Support: | ________ | You name the amount per year for 5 years |
| |
|
We also welcome pledges for any amount for any period of years.

I want to begin the pledge process now.
