Our Guiding Principles
As part of building a foundation and addressing upstream factors of health for a thriving community, we work by these guiding principles:
Commitment to Learning and Boldness
We are committed to becoming experts in and advocates for our community by entrenching and educating ourselves and others in understanding the health challenges people face. We will take risks to improve the health of Natrona citizens.
Center on Community
We engage underserved communities and their voices directly in decision making. We prioritize and value the expertise of proximity to place and experience.
Be Flexible and Adaptive
We will offer flexibility to our staff and partners so that they can adapt as needed to address the needs of the community. We will adapt our approach based on new learnings and information.
Operate with Transparency
The Foundation will act with integrity and in open communication with the community.
Lean into Systemic Change
We will operate with a long-term view. We are committed to lasting, systemic improvements to the health and wellness of Natrona County residents.
Foster Inclusivity and Compassion
We will always be mindful of and guided by the importance of complete inclusivity of residents of all backgrounds. We will improve the ability of all voices in our community to be heard.
