In June 2007, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital introduced a refreshed mission statement, along with revised vision and values statements from MedStar Health (the vision and values are shared by all MedStar organizations). The MedStar Georgetown mission statement was derived after a thorough process which included seeking input from focus groups with representation from nurses from all levels of the organization.
