Everyone is Valued.

We respect all people, treating them and their diverse experiences and perspectives with dignity, courtesy, and openness. We only ask that those we encounter in this mission return the same favor to us. Differing viewpoints are always encouraged with the acknowledgment that inclusivity and diversity of minority views will only strengthen and improve the quality of our collective efforts in the long term.

Shifting paradigms. Finding a better way.

We strive to have an open mind and think out of the box. We keep what works and change what doesn't. We will transform outdated paradigms when necessary to improve every American's health and quality of life.

Find the truth. Tell the truth.

We are honest, civil, and ethical in our conduct, speech, and interactions with our colleagues and collaborators. We expect our people to be humble but not reticent and question the status quo whenever the data and the evidence support such questions. We pledge to be objective, not manipulate facts and data to a particular end or agenda, and acknowledge and speak the truth.

We seek out rigorous, evidence-based, data-driven, and human-centered insights and innovations—including physician and patient experiences—that we believe are essential for scientific and medical breakthroughs. We foster an environment of excellence that strives to achieve the highest ethical and professional standards and values the development of everyone's skills, knowledge, and experience.

Work with citizens and patients as partners.

The best results and outcomes won't be created behind closed doors but will be co-created in the open with the American public's input. We actively listen to the patient experiences shared with us, respect the lived experiences of patients and their advocates, and learn from their experiences in our pursuit of objective truth. We communicate effectively across diverse audiences and collaborate extensively to identify shared goals and leverage resources for maximum public health impact.
