2007 was about progress

Park Nicollet registered another year of focused progress in 2007 – noting gains in these categories: patient care, performance, advancement, innovation and community. Another section, "The Year Ahead," spotlights our goals for 2008. All these categories best describe how Park Nicollet is taking care of patients and maintaining a level of care we believe makes it the best health care provider in the Twin Cities.

Here are ways we progressed in 2007.

• We adopted a new vision – everyone caring, every day – that resonates with patients and staff, and strengthened our values.
• We're meeting the community's growing needs by building Park Nicollet Frauenshuh Cancer Center, and Park Nicollet Melrose Institute for people with eating disorders.
• Park Nicollet Heart and Vascular Center is one of the 100 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals in the country.
• Our excellence in health and safety is widely recognized.
• Carol.com, da Vinci and Novalis expanded Park Nicollet's commitment to health care innovation.

Our staff is proud of these accomplishments. We hope the annual report will give you better insight into how we create greater value for our patients and community. more
