We think it’s pretty simple – we care for our employees and our employees care for the community.

At WakeMed, we are guided by a simple — yet powerful – mission: to improve the health and well-being of our community by providing outstanding and compassionate care to all.  

To deliver on this mission, we employ a team of more than 10,000 dedicated, compassionate individuals who share our passion for putting others first and commitment to our unique culture: The Wake Way.

The Wake Way has been a vital part of who we are and what we do for the past 60 years. The Wake Way means going above and beyond to help our patients, their families and each other, providing not only outstanding medical treatment, but the care and caring that leads to healing. It is a commitment to caring that goes far beyond our walls, as we work to make our community a healthier place to live, work and play.  

It’s because of the Wake Way that people are proud to spend 40, 45 and even 50 years as members of the WakeMed family.

WakeMed is committed to providing an inclusive work and patient care environment where differences are valued and everyone is respected.  

Diversity, inclusion and access have been core to WakeMed's mission and values since its founding more than 60 years ago. From the beginning, WakeMed has been dedicated to providing outstanding and compassionate care to all who seek our services, regardless of age, race, religion or ability to pay.

As our community has grown, so too has our commitment to providing the resources needed to meet the diverse needs of our patients and provide a positive patient experience as well as high-quality, safe care, recognizing that individual needs and preferences differ.
