Behavior Standards
The day we accept a position at Altru, and make the commitment to be part
of this organization, we begin contributing to the organization's culture.
As a result, this impacts the care we provide to our patients and their
families. A key part of creating a culture that consistently delivers
high quality and reliable care to our patients is having a core set of
behavior standards. These standards, which we all understand and live
by, ensure that we consistently deliver world-class care.
We are pleased to introduce our Behavior Standards (created by employees,
leaders and physicians), represented by "I Am Altru". Each letter
of “I Am Altru” is the first letter of a word that represents
a category of our behavior standards. Each category has a “we”
statement and several “I” statements that speak to what we
will commit to as individuals and as a team. These standards are expected
behaviors for all of us.

Professional Appearance and Tobacco Free Environment
The patient experience at Altru Health System is our highest priority.
Every day, we work to ensure that our patients receive the best quality
of care possible, in the most comfortable environment. Our appearance
expectations are laid out in our Professional Appearance Policy and align
us to our mission, vision, and values. We ask that all employees dress
professionally, keeping safety a priority. Please wear the appropriate
uniform or professional dress on your first day. During orientation, you

Altru Health System is dedicated to the prevention of disease and promotion
of good health. We feel a responsibility as health care providers to be
leaders in the communities we serve by practicing healthy lifestyle behaviors.
Tobacco odor is considered offensive by many patients and can lead to
an unsatisfying experience. Even if we are not directly involved in patient
care activities, at any point in our day, we could come in contact with
a patient. Employees will be free from the odor of smoke while at work
for the comfort of our patients and to lead to a more positive patient
experience.
Parking Information
Making a great first and lasting impression is a priority at Altru Health
System. Parking is the first opportunity we have to show patients and
staff how much we care.
Please email us at
parking@altru.org if you have any questions or suggestions on how we can make parking better
for patients and staff.
