The overall mission statement for Daywest, of which Applegate is a part, is:

It is our belief that we will be better leaders, better managers, even happier people if we are free to focus our attentions on the quality of our service, satisfaction of customers, and the acknowledgement and fair treatment of our staff, instead of the company's profitability. This is the formula for success. This philosophy is our greatest advantage because attention is given to the little things that provide a more compassionate and personal way for people to be helped through illness, injury, and the end-of-life process.

If we focus on our values of honesty, integrity, and respect, we will have a first class operation maintained by our tradition of hospitality and healthcare excellence. Remember, we believe patient care always comes first, bigger is not as important as better, and people are more important than profits.
