The Optum promise

For you, health care isn’t just a job. It’s a calling.

00:00:00.434 --> 00:00:05.405 align:middle line:85% position:46% size:3%

00:00:05.405 --> 00:00:07.074 align:middle line:85% position:48% size:48%

I swear to fulfill,

00:00:07.074 --> 00:00:10.444 align:middle line:79% position:50% size:70%

to the best of my ability

and judgement, this promise:

00:00:12.012 --> 00:00:14.615 align:middle line:79% position:46% size:68%

I will respect the hard-won

scientific gains

00:00:14.615 --> 00:00:17.651 align:middle line:79% position:50% size:75%

of those before me,

and gladly share my knowledge.

00:00:19.586 --> 00:00:22.289 align:middle line:79% position:46% size:68%

I will use everything in my

power to help the sick.

00:00:23.423 --> 00:00:25.592 align:middle line:79% position:50% size:70%

I will not be ashamed to say

"I don't know."

00:00:26.159 --> 00:00:28.195 align:middle line:79% position:50% size:55%

nor will I fail to ask

for support

00:00:28.195 --> 00:00:29.529 align:middle line:85% position:50% size:65%

when the skills of another

00:00:29.529 --> 00:00:31.298 align:middle line:79% position:47% size:63%

are needed

for a patient's recovery.

00:00:32.099 --> 00:00:34.635 align:middle line:79% position:50% size:65%

Most especially I will act

with care

00:00:34.635 --> 00:00:36.203 align:middle line:85% position:45% size:73%

in matters of life and death.

00:00:37.337 --> 00:00:40.140 align:middle line:79% position:45% size:73%

I will remember that I do not

treat a fever chart,

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:42.643 align:middle line:79% position:50% size:55%

or a cancerous growth,

but a human being.

00:00:44.244 --> 00:00:45.913 align:middle line:85% position:50% size:70%

May I always act to preserve

00:00:45.913 --> 00:00:48.282 align:middle line:79% position:47% size:53%

the finest traditions

of my calling

00:00:48.282 --> 00:00:51.418 align:middle line:79% position:47% size:63%

and may I long experience

the joy of healing

00:00:51.418 --> 00:00:53.487 align:middle line:85% position:47% size:58%

those who seek my help.

00:00:53.487 --> 00:00:55.555 align:middle line:79% position:47% size:58%
