Core Values

Our mission at AZCEND, we change lives by nourishing minds and bodies to create a connected, thriving community.

AZCEND is built on five core principles:

INTEGRITY

We perform all of our daily duties with utmost integrity, knowing that the communities we serve trust us to assist their most vulnerable residents.

COMPASSION

Compassion for our community and the people we serve is what drives everything we do, knowing that when one person reaches out to help another, both are lifted up in the process.

HOPE

Our goal is not simply to meet the physical needs of those we serve but to empower others with an unwavering hope that each step is a step forward, and tomorrow will be better than today.

EXCELLENCE

In order to maximize the resources that have been put in our care, each of us strives for excellence in our individual and collective activities, continually looking for ways to do more and do better.

RESPECT

Finally, AZCEND is built on a culture of respect. Respect for our mission, respect for each other, respect for the people we serve, and respect for the resources provided to support our mission each day.
