As a supplier to our company, you provide quality products and
services to our residents and patients — either directly or through
alternate channels. With that privilege comes an important
responsibility: You must adhere to the highest level of legal,
ethical and moral standards. Our company expects this of you and
all of our employees.
We count on every employee of our company and of the companies
with which we do business to meet these standards through their
hard work and commitment to their jobs. We are a results-oriented
company, but the results we achieve must always be attained through
solid execution of our strategies and decisions made with
integrity.
The company Code of Conduct is our guide to ensure that we are
making the right decisions for the right reasons. It also ensures
that we comply with all applicable laws and regulations, serves as
the conscience of our company, and offers the right guidance to
handle situations that arise.
The Code of Conduct will be part of all contracts that are
negotiated with our suppliers, or, if you wish, additional copies
may be downloaded using the Code of Conduct link on this page. We
expect our suppliers to be aware of the guidance within the Code of
Conduct and to align their conduct to that guidance when dealing
with our company and its employees. We send an annual letter to our
suppliers to remind them of this policy.
The most important job each of us has is to ensure that our
residents, patients and their families maintain a high level of
trust in the care we provide. By diligently following our Code of
Conduct and providing the highest quality of care, and conducting
our business with ethics and integrity, we can be certain we will
continue to earn and deserve their trust.
