Mission We partner, coordinate, and collaborate with service
providers, community organizations, cities, and schools to improve the
quality, scope, and effectiveness of services to individuals, children,
youth, and families in the Bloomington, Eden Prairie, and Richfield
communities. Vision Individuals, children, youth, and families thrive in a vibrant
community with full access to resources and support services. Core
Values • All individuals, children, youth, and
families have strengths and needs for support. • Early identification and prevention of
problems is the most effective long-term approach. • Needs are most effectively identified and met
at the local level. • Our region has a stake in the health and
welfare of its community members. • Effective regional collaboration depends on
relationships that are mutually beneficial and respectful. • Enhancing existing systems and moving toward
system change (or even system redesign) in order to better utilize resources
and meet regional needs is paramount. • All partners are equal and no single agency
will benefit disproportionately from their participation in HSSC or with any
funding. Philosophy • We are mission-driven. • We are accessible and responsive. • We follow best and promising practices in our
work. • We are mindful of community needs and promote
cultural competency. • We operate with transparency and with
accountability. • We respect and honor confidentiality and data
privacy. HSSC
