In CHP, we strive to promote a community in which all our students, faculty, and staff are welcomed, included, supported, and valued. Our shared values of dignity, respect, cooperation, excellence, fulfillment of potential, innovation, integrity, accountability, and enjoyment are the foundation of our CHP community and guide our decision, actions and culture. We are committed to a community that embraces and honors student, staff, and faculty backgrounds, perspectives, and lived experiences.

As a community, we uphold the dignity of all people - every individual is valued, every voice is important, and all voices are heard. We commit to cooperation to strengthen our collective impact. We embrace innovation to enhance teaching, learning, research, and service and strive for excellence by practicing the highest quality in teaching, research, and service. We support the fulfillment of student, faculty, and staff potential, so our community members achieve their academic, personal and professional aspirations. With integrity, we conduct ourselves in a forthright and honorable manner and promote accountability, ensuring we take responsibility for our behaviors and how those behaviors impact others. Finally, we believe in enjoyment, where we find meaning in our work and in our learning, and celebrate each other.

Every student, staff, and faculty member deserves a community that welcomes and supports everyone and one in which they can flourish, grow, and achieve the successes and goals for which they strive. CHP students deserve an exceptional education that inspires the curiosity, motivation, and passion needed to serve individuals and communities throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia with high quality, compassionate, and evidence-based care. Faculty and staff deserve a positive work environment that that motivates, supports, and builds the ideas, relationships, and collaborations needed to discover, create, and enact the most impactful teaching, research, and outreach in service to our students, communities, and each other.
