What to Expect From Our Team
If you’re interested in working with our team, we see patients at our two clinic locations in Coquitlam and Surrey. We also provide services through Fraser Health and Vancouver Coastal Health hospitals.
Our clinicians pursue creative solutions to each patient’s unique challenges based on their medical circumstances and individual goals. We support our patients with expert knowledge and care, enabling them to reach their goals and live life to the fullest.
Our clinicians embrace both traditional and modern technologies to achieve the best outcomes for our patients. Through our active clinical research practice, we seek out answers to challenges we encounter and use best practice evidence to guide our decision making.
Why: Our Purpose
Produce Positive is our motto. We believe that life presents constant opportunities for decision making. With each of these choices, we have an opportunity to create something positive for our patients and all those we serve.
We strive to ensure our actions produce positive in our treatments, patient outcomes, interactions, and relationships. Acknowledging that our patients are our best teachers, we approach each day with humility, curiosity, and deep motivation to help our patients live their best lives.
Hodgson’s Core Values
In an effort to Produce Positive with our decisions, the Hodgson Orthopedic Group’s employees are mindful of our core values. We strive to implement them as an active daily practice in our thoughts and interactions.
Make Decisions Out of Compassion
We strive to make all of our decisions out of compassion, not fear. Each day presents opportunities for decision making.
Instead of making fear-based decisions, which are made out of a perceived threat, or lack of control, our goal is to make compassion-based decisions. Compassion-based decisions are driven by a connection, commitment and passion, and the foundations of love.
Letting go of fear that comes from, “what if” questions is an important step towards having our decisions produce positive.
Challenge the Status Quo
Our patients deserve the best, which means we never settle for “the way we’ve always done it.” By embracing collaboration and continuous learning, we ensure innovative and efficient treatments. We stay curious and adaptable, always striving to improve for the benefit of our patients.
Deliver Personalized Experiences
Embrace failure as part of the journey to create patient-centered solutions. Take risks, learn from mistakes, and innovate boldly to ensure each patient receives a uniquely tailored experience.
Address Challenges with Focus
When a challenge arises, we pause and take a moment to assess the issue. While solutions may not always be perfect, we have numerous tools at our disposal to guide our actions. We want to ensure you can rely on our collective abilities to effectively resolve problems.
Value Everyone
Our goal is to demonstrate respect and compassion in all our interactions. We want to ensure it’s a collaboration with patients, parents, professionals, and third-party contractors. No matter how busy we are or how often questions arise, we are committed to delivering thoughtful and effective solutions.
We Take Our Responsibility Seriously
At Hodgson, we are mindful of the bigger picture impact our company can have. The prosthetic and orthotic device creation process uses and produces waste consisting of many fabrication byproducts. Although not conventionally recyclable, we feel that it is our responsibility to find a way to prevent these materials from adding to our landfills.
Through a partnership with Revolution Resource Recovery we have found a solution. Their innovative management solutions facilitate recycling of our complex orthopedic plastics, plaster of Paris, styrofoam, food waste and paper products.
Revolution also utilizes a “Waste To Energy” process which converts non-recyclable products into usable energy. Through this effort, we feel that we are one step closer to producing positive for not only our patients but the environment too.
