Centura Health Mission and VisionCentura Health is a hospital system located in Colorado and Kansas. They created a mission and vision statement that focuses on the communities they serve. Their current mission is: “We extend the healing ministry of Christ by caring for those who are sick and nurturing the health of people in our communities.” (Centura, 2014). Their current vision statement is: “Centura Health will fulfill the commitment to care for our communities with excellence and integrity to become their partner for life.” (Centura, 2014). These statements are short and satisfy most of Aguinis' eight components for mission and vision. Centura Health Mission Statement A mission statement should define the organization, why it exists, who it serves, and what products and services they offer (Aguinis, 2013). . Aguinis (2013) includes eight components for a good mission statement. These components are products or services offered, customers served, benefits of their products or services, technology used, growth and profitability, management philosophy, public image, and employees' and shareholders' self-concept of the company (Aguisis, 2013). Centura Health's mission is “We extend the healing ministry of Christ by caring for those who are sick and nurturing the health of people in our communities.” (Centura, 2014). This mission statement meets five of the eight components. These five components are the products or services offered, the customers served, growth and profitability, the public image, and the self-concept of the company by employees and shareholders. The product offered is "taking care of those who are sick and promoting people's health"; Centura is a hospital... means of paper... that cares for everyone in the community, including employees and stakeholders, creating an environment conducive to the care and healing of patients and families. Conclusion Centura Health has done a good job with their mission and vision statements. The mission statement is short and does not include all the features. The vision statement is outdated and needs to include more details about the technology and timing. However, they created their own values ​​by helping to reduce the missing aspects of the vision and mission. These are more telling about why the organization is there and what it is doing differently than other hospital systems in the area. Overall, with the help of values, mission and vision statements are useful tools for employees and the community to understand the organization's priorities and performance goals..
