2012 Annual Report
Behind the Scenes
Understanding Who We Are
Every year, as we consider themes for our annual report, we try to choose one that helps explain National Jewish Health, one that describes the qualities that make us unique. This year we started by taking a look behind the scenes at what we do every day, the common experiences and approaches that differentiate us from other health care organizations. We identified five common threads – words that help describe the National Jewish Health spirit and philosophy.
- Excellence
- Leadership
- Discovery
- Collaboration
- Commitment
These are the core philosophies that drive the faculty and staff at National Jewish Health. To fully demonstrate how they come to life, we take you “Behind the Scenes” at National Jewish Health.
