Guided by Our Values
Ethical
We always do what is right for the patient, for the oral and health care profession, for our Team Members and for GEDC.
Compassionate
We believe each of us delivers care to our patients and we treat fellow Team Members with dignity and respect.
Inclusive
We treat every Team Member as an equal contributor in the care of a patient and leverage Team Member knowledge to build stronger ideas, outcomes and culture.
Service-Oriented
We commit to excellence in patient care and service at each step of the patient journey in the communities we serve.
Collaborative
We work as a team to problem solve and build solutions to deliver a distinctive and cost-efficient DSO service offering.
Accountable
We live by our objectives and goals, measure our performance and accept responsibility for delivering on our commitments and promised results.
Driven
We will not rest until we achieve best-in-class outcomes for patients and create value for all stakeholders.
We Recognize Brilliance
The Power of One
Each Team Member is empowered to make a difference in the lives of our patients, each other and the communities that we serve. Through this program, we have developed the foundation to help us work together to create a shared culture.
Team Member Engagement Committees
We have nine Team Member Engagement Committees, one for each geographic region and the Practice Support Center. These groups work on a variety of efforts to enhance our culture and recognize the great work of our people.
National Values Champions
Every month, our Engagement Committees select and honor individuals for their active demonstration of our values. Each Values Champion receives a framed certificate signed by the Great Expressions Executive Leadership Team and a jacket to commemorate the honor.
