Our Mission & Culture
At WakeMed, every decision we make is in the best interest of our patients and their families. To deliver this exceptional, patient-centered care, we rely on a talented, diverse and passionate team who shares our dedication to improving the health and well-being of our community.
It doesn’t take long to realize that WakeMed is a unique organization and home to a culture that is unlike any other. It’s a place where we provide not only outstanding medical treatment, but the care and caring that leads to healing. It’s a place where people are proud to spend 40, 45 and even 50 years helping us work toward our mission.
It’s a place where you aren’t just an employee – you are a member of the WakeMed family.
Diversity & Inclusion
Diversity, inclusion and access have been core to WakeMed's mission and values for more than 60 years. From the beginning, WakeMed has been dedicated to providing outstanding and compassionate care to all who seek our services, regardless of age, race, religion or ability to pay.
Today, as one of the largest employers in Wake County, we are proud to offer many programs that nurture a culture of respect for our patients, their families and our team. We recognize that each person’s individual experiences make us stronger as a whole and we work hard to honor and celebrate those things that make us unique.
