Our Center of Excellence professional practice model (PPM) (shown right) depicts the compilation of theories and frameworks our interprofessional practice is founded upon; beginning in the center with the cross resembling the Sisters of St. Joseph's of Orange; the foundresses of the St. Joseph Health ministries. Next; our values; Compassion, Dignity, Excellence, Integrity and Justice which serve as our guideposts for why we do what we do. We deliver clinical practices and cares while collaborating in our caring individualized culture
