Woodwinds was named one of the 100 Great Community Hospital for 2015 by Becker’s Hospital Review.

Woodwinds also has a holistic care model whose values include compassionate service, ethical practice, meaningful collaboration, and human potential. They also have a set of guiding principles which included; encouraging and supporting involvement in ones own care, creating and sustaining a healing environment, and willingness to challenge the status quo by applying innovative thinking and implementing change (Woodwinds Health Campus website, 2015). This mission statement and guiding principles to me model what a professional nursing practice is and how I want to be as a nurse. It is important to me to offer compassionate service, ethical practice, be able to collaborate with client and other healthcare professionals. I want to work in an environment that will challenge the status quo, apply innovative thinking and uses holistic care
