342 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [July 9 Mission Statement University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics T h e mission of the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics is to support essential teaching and research functions of the academic units of the University's Health Sciences Center. These include medicine, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, public health, and the associated health professions. In the hospital and clinics, faculty teach students and investigate the causes and treatment of disease; students in health professions learn the art and science of their professions, assuming increasing responsibility for patient care as they progress toward professional maturity. Clinical faculty members of the health sciences teach exemplary health care by practicing it. Students should see and emulate the best that art, science, and technology can offer. Therefore, the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics must provide the best of care in accordance with the highest standards of hospital accreditation, having at all times the welfare of the patient as a primary concern. Any program carried out, whether health care, teaching, or research, must meet the highest possible scientific and ethical standards. Admissions to the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics are made in accord with the teaching and research requirements of the University, the availability of space, and the financial constraints within which the hospital and clinics must operate.
