- Innovative Research: To conduct research aimed at generating new knowledge that advances the practices and policies of health care.
- Person-Centered Care: To advance the science and practice of person-centered care with a focus on patient outcomes, families, communities, integrative health care, health promotion/disease prevention, and the improvement of overall quality of life.
