Dedicated to Education

Some years ago, VHS recognized the importance of building dynamic leaders to ensure the VHS Mission, Vision and Values are being lived in each facility.

The founders of Vetter Health Services, Jack and Eldora Vetter, have always been “leaders” in what they do and what they expect of their facilities. Through effective leadership at facilities, Jack and Eldora can be assured that their belief in Dignity in Life is being achieved.

VHS offers several learning opportunities every year for facility leaders to attend. Based on the Mission, Vision and Values of VHS, the training provides facility administrators and supervisors with the basis for being excellent leaders in their facility. These leaders can then help all staff get excited about the opportunities we have every day to serve people.

VHS Training

VHS provides people leadership and operations training for administrators, supervisors and directors of nursing. Training begins with a study of the mission, vision and values that have made VHS so successful in the health care profession.

Emphasis remains on people as these leaders are guided through discussions and exercises designed to increase their effectiveness as leaders in the areas of developing teamwork, promoting safety, communicating effectively, managing the physical assets of a facility, providing quality care, public relations and more. Administrators and supervisors are taught both philosophies and processes that must be met to achieve quality of care.

Along with this training, VHS offers a number of additional seminars, conferences, task forces and training materials.

Two conferences are held annually for administrators. The spring conference, held in Omaha, Nebraska, focuses on mission, vision and values, leadership, and business-related topics. The fall conference, held in a variety of locations, focuses not only on business, but on building the VHS team of leaders.

In addition to administrator conferences, VHS holds an annual director of nursing conference. Also, every 18 months, supervisors are invited to Omaha to refresh their minds with regard to mission, vision and values and improving their skills.

We know the only way to live out our Mission, Vision and Values is by training and developing people to be an example of what we believe.
