MUSC Values in Action Award

Values in Action awards 

The Medical University of South Carolina's values are the heart of the institution and each day these values are exhibited by employees who help to fulfill MUSC's vision statement, Leading Health Innovation for the Lives We Touch.

Each year, the President's Values in Action award program recognizes employees who go above and beyond to demonstrate MUSC's five values: compassion, respect, innovation, collaboration and integrity.
