Mission Statement
The primary mission of the rural hospital is to provide individuals with chronic mental illness, including those with low social status, with quality medical care and rehabilitation services. A secondary mission of the hospital is to improve the lives of the whole community through competent organization and timely psychological, social, and adaptive support. We are convinced that social status is not an obstacle to receiving quality medical care.
Explanation
Social service organizations critically need a strong and powerful mission statement. The development of the statement and it was influenced by the Saint Rock Haiti Foundation’s, which stated primary and secondary missions (Social service mission statements, n.d.). The view of Loudoun Habitat For Humanity was an inspiring example and pointed out that the personal opinion of the company is critical to the mission statement (Social service mission statements, n.d.). It was helpful to read about how to shape the mission statement: for example, the advice about simple words (Wallace, 2004). Simplicity attracts people by letting them know the sincerity of the organization’s intentions. The mission was built on the hospital’s goal of providing care based on equality, respect, and support (McNamara, 2022). Everyone is worthy of help, and for those with chronic mental illness, it is essential to respond promptly to changes in their condition. The hospital, in the example, has the resources to provide community outreach programs, and the mission results from a deliberate decision to empower staff. It will bring the community together, improve social well-being and make the population healthier.
