Nursing Mission
D-H Nursing Mission
Create an environment in which patients and families can heal.
Mission of Shared Governance
The mission of D-H Nursing Shared Governance is to develop all nurses as leaders who will create and promote an environment that provides and maintains safe, high quality patient- and family-centered care.
Philosophy of Shared Governance
It is an expectation for individuals within the profession of nursing to participate in shared decision-making as a component of their professional responsibility. This is built on foundations of practice found within the American Nurses Association (ANA) Scope and Standards of Practice, Nursing Social Policy Statement and the Nursing Code of Ethics. The Conceptual Framework is based on the principles of equity, accountability, partnership and ownership. We believe that it is incumbent upon all members of the discipline of nursing to participate in activities that improve patient care and the community of nurses. This supports and aligns with the D-H Philosophy of Nursing.
