Corporate Culture, Equity and Inclusion Vision Statement
Apelah is committed to creating a multifaceted, inclusive, and equitable health and social services agency.
Our mission is to improve well-being and promote independence throughout life's stages with quality and compassion. Customers, service recipients, and their families put their trust in our hands. This responsibility is a passion for our team members. Since healthcare and social services are relationship-driven, we want to earn the trust of our service recipients so that we can understand and meet their unique needs.
Built on Apelah Values
We create a more just world by meeting unmet needs and filling in service gaps in our community. Our commitment to diverse corporate culture, equity, and inclusion is built on our core values: absolute integrity, continuous self-improvement, respect and concern for the individual, exceptional customer service, and fiscal accountability. We strive to look for new ways to identify health and social outcome disparities within the communities we serve and find innovative ways to address these challenges. We aim to provide superior service to our community that is person-centered and culturally informed.
Our values inspire us to build and grow a diverse, equitable, and inclusive company culture. Our commitment to continuous self-improvement and respect for every individual means that we treat everyone at the agency with dignity and respect, regardless of their position in the company, background, or experience.
Creating Value for Our Community
Our commitment to exceptional customer service means that our diversity is our strength: differences in perspective, experience, and identities bring about novel approaches that help us meet the complex needs of our service recipients. We believe that we can meet the needs of our community when we ensure that our agency builds teams who have a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. We are committed to creating an equitable and inclusive culture. When our team members thrive, our community thrives with us.
