Principles of Practice

Artz Center for Developmental Health

In pursuit of our mission, we subscribe to the following principles of practice:

Ensure that our first and most important concern is what’s best of the patient and family. All other considerations are secondary.
Ensure that we work with patients and their families as equal partners, seeing their active collaboration as central to their success.
Ensure that all services provided are of the highest quality and are based on well-defined objectives, scientifically validated approaches, when available, and the collective wisdom of multiple disciplines.
Ensure that all services include well-designed evaluation and measurement of outcomes wherever possible.
Ensure that any point of entry to any family service is welcoming, natural, accessible and inclusive.
Ensure that all services welcome the racial, ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity of the community we serve.
Ensure that services are available to all who need them within the limits of our programmatic and financial constraints.
