Altru unveils new mission statement

Altru Health has unveiled a new mission statement as it prepares to open a new hospital complex.

Altru CEO Todd Forkel says with less than a year until we move into the new building the time was right to redefine the mission…vision…and value.  In a prepared statement Forkel says “We chose this mission because it simply explains what our team does best:  making a difference for those we care for.”

Altru’s new mission is “Making a difference for those we care for.”

Altru’s New Vision is “The relentless pursuit of excellence for the health of our community.”

Altru’s New Values:  Be kind to everyone…Go above and beyond…Do the right thing…and Win as a team.

The new $470 million dollar hospital will feature 226 licensed beds.  The hospital is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2024.
