All contributions to the field
of health care need to add to the strength, preservation
& reinforcement of the decency and stability that
are essential to a civilized society.
It is essential to advocate for
health care values that uphold the worth of each and
every individual.
The partnership of conventional
and alternative health care is a powerful tool that has
the potential to ensure the availability of top quality
health care to all people, including our most vulnerable
members of society.
The
attainment of health is a process rather than an end in
itself.
Health
depends on the quality of life, not the absence of
illness or disease.We,
as health care practitioners, do not heal another
person. Our work activates, reinforces, and supports the
client’s own internal healing mechanisms.
We
advocate client authority and client owned outcome.
Each
individual has the authority over his or her own health.
We,
as health care practitioners, must take care of
ourselves in order to offer the highest quality work
possible to our clients.
The
health of our society must be the driving force behind
all of our decisions & actions regarding our
policy.
We,
as health care professionals, have a moral obligation to
deliver our services with respect and efficiency.
