CORE VALUES

Integrity.

Integrity builds respect and trust. We communicate openly and honestly with each other, and to all with whom we do business. We can be counted on to keep our promise and to use good judgment, and if we make a mistake we will accept responsibility and do everything possible to correct it. We will conduct business with impeccable ethics and a genuine desire to do the right thing. We are reliable, honest and trustworthy in all our dealings.

We Do What Is Right.

We are committed to the highest standards of patient care and excellence in everything that we do on behalf of TLCVision^®’s patients, affiliated doctors, employees, shareholders and suppliers. We are proud to work for a health care Company whose products and services make a difference in people’s lives and for an organization whose primary objective is to provide the highest level of patient care. We derive our greatest sense of accomplishment from doing what is right – not what is expedient.

We Always Seek to Improve.

In all aspects of our business we continually accept change as a positive, particularly when it’s for the better. We study our progress and learn from ourselves and others how to do things more effectively and efficiently. How we do things is as important to us as what we do.

We Accept Personal Responsibility.

We consider individual involvement and accountability to be both a right and a privilege and accept personal responsibility for everything we do. We treat the Company’s reputation as our own and try to make wise use of our time and the Company’s resources. While we support our associates and work as a team, we will always take pride and accept personal responsibility in meeting or exceeding desired objectives.
