We pride ourselves on our strong culture, which encourages innovation, collaboration, and mutual respect. We were named a Bay Area “Top Workplace” by the Bay Area News Group in 2024, marking the 11th consecutive year we received this distinction. This award is based solely on employee feedback gathered through an anonymous, third-party survey. Our core values across the company are: patient-centric; committed to innovation; empowered and results-focused; collaborative and open; and respectful and compassionate.

We are committed to supporting our employees’ long-term success by investing in training programs and educational opportunities to help foster personal and professional growth. We have implemented general and job-specific training programs so that employees can gain the necessary qualifications for their position and can continue to develop and grow within the company. We provide specific management training to support new and emerging managers.

Board of Directors Evaluations

We conduct an annual self-evaluation process for our Board of Directors and its committees. As part of this process, each member of our Board of Directors individually completes a detailed survey prepared by outside counsel or participates in an in-person independent interview to discuss each director's assessment of the performance of the Board of Directors and its committees, their own performance, and the performance of fellow members of the Board of Directors and interaction between the Board of Directors and management. The feedback received is then shared with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, and then presented to and discussed with the full Board of Directors.

Our Board of Directors evaluation process is used:

• by our Board of Directors and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to assess the current composition of our Board of Directors and its committees and make recommendations for the qualifications, expertise and characteristics we should seek in identifying potential new director nominees;

• by our Board of Directors and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to identify the strengths and areas of opportunity of each member of our Board of Directors and to provide insight into how the contributions of each member of our Board of Directors can be most valuable;

• to identify areas to strengthen the quality of discussion and materials presented to the Board of Directors and its committees so that information they receive enables them to function most effectively and to address the issues they consider most critical; and

• by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as part of its annual review of each director’s performance when considering whether to nominate the director for re-election to the Board of Directors.
