  • Commitment: We are dedicated to Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute and Carolinas HealthCare System, taking pride in our organization and our jobs, projecting a professional image, and striving to be the best in all we do.
  • Integrity: We honor and uphold confidentiality, are honest and ethical, keep our commitments, accept responsibility for our actions, and respect the rights of patients, families and each other.
  • Teamwork: Linked by our common mission, we respect the professionalism and contributions of our co-workers, understand that physicians are an integral part of the team, value diversity in all its forms, and recognize that people are our greatest assets.

Our goal is simple: provide patients with the best care possible, using the most effective preventive, diagnostic and treatment options available.
