Because I CARE
If you have the opportunity to meet with our recruiters, one thing you’ll learn about VA is that our core values—integrity, commitment, advocacy, respect, and excellence—define who we are and how we embrace our mission to care for Veterans. These 5 ideals describe our culture and serve as the foundation for the way we interact with both our Veterans and our fellow employees.
- Integrity: We choose to act with the highest professional standards and maintain the trust of all with whom we engage.
- Commitment: We work diligently to serve Veterans, and are driven by an earnest belief in VA’s mission.
- Advocacy: We are truly Veteran-centric, as we work to identify, consider, and advance the interests of Veterans.
- Respect: We treat all those we serve and with whom we work with dignity and respect, because we believe you must show respect to earn it.
- Excellence: We strive for the highest quality and value continuous improvement.
Together, these values provide a measure for the standards expected of all VA employees, reminding everyone that “I CARE.”
“The Veterans, when they come in, and you get to shake their hand, it’s great to be able to interact with them,” explained Lauran Warburton, registered nurse and admissions coordinator at the Butler VA Medical Center domiciliary.
