Integrity
Integrity can be defined as a sense of wholeness brought about by qualities such as honesty and consistency of character. At Barnes-Jewish Hospital, it goes beyond adherence to a specific code of moral values. Integrity is not something you're born with - it's something you continuously work on possessing throughout your life. Out team members are working to ensure that integrity is part of every exchange with every patient or visitor, every day.
