Cummins' value statement reflection

Cummins Mental Health Center’s value statement is one unlike many others in that it boasts a Mission Statement, Vision Statement, and a Values Statement. The main mission of Cummins is to promote recovery and enhance quality of life through the means of behavioral health services. This means they wish to not only help consumers recover and get better from whatever brings them to Cummins, but they wish to go a step further by making consumers’ lives better than when they first came to Cummins.
Cummins maintains a vision statement similar to its mission statement with a few additions. This says communities WILL be stigma free and has visions to positively influence through leadership, advocacy, and practice. Obviously the most important of the values, respect for the dignity and worth of individuals is ranked first under Cummins’ value statement. Other values listed include responsiveness, partnership, exceeding expectations, diversity, trust, integrity, best practices, the hope of recovery, and continuous learning. These values are based on the notion that all Cummins staff will be welcoming to all consumers, no matter how unique or different than others. They will work to meet the needs of consumers and go above and beyond just their expectations, while at the same time sticking to their ethical standards and commitment to excellence.
