Our people are exceptional in countless ways

Regional specialties | Community commitment | Initiatives | Technology | Our people

Shortly after Altoona Regional was established, our employees were asked to decide on vision, mission and values statements for their health care system. You have seen their vision. Here are the values they felt were most important to them, their patients and their patients' families:

Honesty and Integrity
Quality
Service Excellence
Teamwork
Innovation, Vision and Growth
Stewardship

And, we've touched on the mission they chose, but it is worth repeating:

"The Mission of Altoona Regional Health System is for exceptional people to provide exceptional health care."

We take great pride in the fact that our people understand that this is their mission, and they strive to live it every day.

Our medical staff includes more than 300 highly skilled and qualified physicians, representing a full range of medical and surgical specialties.

Our nursing staff is a dedicated, caring and expertly educated group of professionals. Higher education and specialized certifications are often required and always encouraged.

Our Medical Staff/Medical Education Department is a comprehensive service designed to efficiently and effectively address physicians' vast scope of issues and requests.
