The Living Our Values Tour

Throughout 2024, UC Davis Health will celebrate how we live our values of Kindness, Trust and Inclusion. We'll learn why they are critical to our culture, and how to choose them each day.

We believe in the power of Kindness. We believe in the necessity of Trust. We believe that Inclusion means everyone.

We believe in better.

Dr. David Lubarsky, CEO, UC Davis Health

Our Values in Action

Marilu Garcia, RN, reacts to a kind letter from a co-worker — UC Davis Health staff were tapped to read a few lines on camera about our Believe in Better campaign. Actually, they received letters written by people hidden in the next room. Each letter expressed gratitude to them for living UC Davis Health’s values of kindness, trust and inclusion.

The D11, Trauma Nursing Unit created a board to spread awareness around kindness.
