• Empower individuals and institutions to improve the health status of at-risk populations as a means of positively contributing to social equality and justice.
  • Personal integrity, a high moral standard, commitment to our shared mission, and excellence in our work.
  • Common courtesy in our personal interactions, a collaborative working style, and concern for the rights of others are the chief manifestations and basis for successfully achieving CHISTRE’s mission.
  • Pursuit of public health goals at CHISTRE is driven by their importance, by the possibility of positive impact, and by technical and financial feasibility, not by potential profitability. Hence, CHISTRE is a nonprofit corporation developed strictly to serve the public interest.
  • The immensity of the tasks we face in public health management requires a high degree of humility. Our individual energy, intellect, sense of humor, and dedication can make a difference.
  • Management support for development means long-term commitments to our clients and colleagues. This obligation requires that we put the success of others above personal or organizational recognition. We must promote the capacity to work more effectively, efficiently, and independently above all else.
