Synchrony Brain Health’s Ethics Statement

Synchrony Brain Health adheres to a professional healthcare ethical tradition first defined by Hippocrates in 400 BC. Synchrony Brain Health maintains that an ethical context is foundational to the process of treatment and healing. Towards creating and sustaining an ethical context, Synchrony Brain Health commits on a daily basis to the following beliefs and values.

These beliefs and values are applied to all relationships without exception including patients, parents, families, employees, business associates, local and national Communities and beyond.

Each and every individual is a universe of unlimited value. (Talmud)
Synchrony Brain Health commits to facilitating a culture and Community of embracing inclusion within which no individual is devalued or discriminated against on the basis of any dimension of identity, membership, ideology, or any aspect of the full arc of human belief and experience.

Trusting and collaborative relationships are the vehicle and instrument for all forms of healing. In support of relationships which hold the opportunity for healing, Synchrony Brain Health commits to engagements which are trustworthy and open to the concerns of others in pursuit of experiences and transactions which are reciprocal and respond to mutual needs and interests.

Synchrony Brain Health commits to free, truthful and respectful speech, at all times, but especially in the face of disagreement and conflict. Synchrony Brain Health believes that every voice matters and has something of value to contribute.

Synchrony Brain Health holds a deep appreciation of the intimacy of human experience and the privilege of receiving the gift of personal sharing in relationships. We commit to the strictest standards of privacy, confidentiality and discretion.

Synchrony Brain Health commits to these beliefs and values while also recognizing that we, and others in relationships with us, will at times fall short of these aspirational standards. While committing to organizational and individual responsibility and accountability, we also recognize that these moments are inevitable within the human enterprise and especially within the complexities of in-depth treatment. Synchrony Brain Health commits to embracing these moments of distress and disappointment, in others and most importantly in ourselves, with empathic acceptance, curiosity, transparency and appropriate professional vulnerability in hope of transforming the moment into a therapeutic opportunity.
