Our mission, 'To Serve Humanity by Improving Health,' defines our core purpose and why we exist. This drives our promise of quality service to the community we serve, and our Care Transformation Model is fundamental to delivering on that promise. This model is an approach to transforming care that aims to redefine and continuously improve the experience of our patients, their families, visitors, and staff.
'Patient- and Family-Centered Care is doing things with patients and their family members instead of doing things to and for patients and their families.' Susan Grant, Emory Healthcare 's Chief Nursing Executive
Dignity and Respect Health care practitioners listen to and honor patient and family perspectives and choices. Patient and family knowledge, values, beliefs, and cultural backgrounds are incorporated into the planning and delivery of care.
Information Sharing Health care practitioners communicate and share complete and unbiased information with patients and families in ways that are affirming and useful. Patients and families receive timely, complete, and accurate information in order to effectively participate in care and decision-making.
Collaboration Patients, families, health care practitioners, and health care leaders collaborate in policy and program development, implementation, and evaluation; in facility design; and in professional education, as well as in the delivery of care.
Emory Healthcare's vision, to be recognized as the leading health care system in Atlanta and the Southeast, differentiated by discovery, innovation, and compassionate, patient-focused care, cannot be accomplished without full engagement from every member of our Emory Healthcare community. Together, we must ensure Emory Healthcare offers an environment that is inclusive and sensitive to the needs of our patients, families and our employees and provider teams without regard to race, color, gender, religion or sexual/gender orientations and expressions. By fostering a culture that embraces diversity and cultural competence, Emory Healthcare will dramatically improve the care we offer while further enhancing our commitment to our employees and provider teams.
Respect and Dignity We recognize and honor differences between ourselves, patients, families and our co-workers. We accept and understand differences in customs, values, beliefs, ethnicity, and patterns of thinking of our employees, provider teams, and patient population; as they relate to race, gender, age, class, sexuality, culture, nationality, disability, religion, and region.
Inclusion We encourage and compel the inclusion of diverse patients, families, employees and provider teams in policy and program development. We strive to provide equal opportunity for all, removing institutional barriers of exclusion and taking affirmative measures to include persons who might otherwise be excluded.
Collaboration We are sensitive to and knowledgeable about the diverse needs of our patients, families, employees and provider teams. We will enhance the delivery of care by being perceptive of the needs of our patients and families across social and cultural dimensions.
Celebration Integration of cultural competency and diversity leads to a positive work environment by fostering an atmosphere that recognizes and appreciates the differences in peoples, cultures, and beliefs. We will acknowledge and embrace these differences.
In embracing the concept of a fair and just culture, Emory Healthcare leadership is embracing an opportunity to bring our core values into expression and to help us keep our promise to our patients. We know that in order for staff, physicians and leaders to have the greatest impact on patient care and achieve the highest level of excellence possible, they must feel compelled and supported to speak about problems, errors, conflicts and misunderstandings in an environment where to do so with curiosity, honesty and respect is both a shared goal and a shared responsibility.

After head and neck cancer I was left with no teeth. I searched for a dentist that could help me many many dentists with zero luck. No one could help me. While having a ck up a new sign went up. Oncology dentist. What here at Emory they have an dental oncologist. Dr Hendler gave me my life back. I can socialize something I did not do bc of my appearance To me he is in the same category of the Drs that has kept me alive. Living without teeth was not in my lifestyle. Thank you Dr Hendler and his assistant Kristi both of them are fantastic.

The entire staff is considerate and genuinely caring. Dr. Hendler has a demeanor that puts his patients at ease. Gentle and thoughtful dentistry is indeed a wonderful find. We highly recommend Dr. Hendler, especially if a senior member of your family requires care.

Dr. Hendler and his staff have been treating my father as he goes through radiation for throat cancer. They've been absolutely fantastic. Great communication, caring attitudes, and support in every interaction. A very kind and patient man. So thankful we found them!

I have an elderly mother who has both dementia and psychosis. Because of her conditions, it is extremely difficult finding a dentist (or any doctor) for her because she is very combative and uncooperative. I conducted a very extensive search online to search for a dentist who is familiar with working with patients with mental disorders, and I came across Dr. Kevin Hendler and I decided to give him a try. Upon arriving at my Mother's appointment, I was very nervous and skeptical, but Dr. Hendler relieved my anxiety immediately. First of, it is very evident that Dr. Hendler is graced in this field of working with the elderly. He has great compassion and understanding for their conditions and he is very patient. He possess the knowledge and skills to work with patients who have dementia and other mental disorders. Not only was Dr. Hendler concerned about my mother's teeth, he was also concerned about her overall health and he made several suggestions and referrals in order to get my mother the help she needed. Dr. Hendler was able to assist my mother with her needs and he was very comforting and thorough, and he took his time, understanding that he could not rush her. I am grateful for people like Dr. Hendler who has not thrown the elderly away. I would refer Dr. Hendler to anyone who is looking for a very patient dentist that is willing to assist patients having mental disorders.

I have nothing but compliments about this practice. Dr. Hendler really cares for his patients and is an amazing dentist specializing in geriatric patients and those with dementia. We went to other dentists and he has solved our problems at a very reasonable cost (unlike others). Thank goodness for people and services offered at the Ina T Allen Dental Center at Wesley Woods. Kristy/Christy at the office was so gentle with the cleaning and extremely professional as well. THANK YOU!

Excellence in dentristy nestled literally in Emory's backyard. A most thoughtful, perpetual "gift" from Mrs. Ina T. Allen and family to the Emory, Druid Hills and adjoining communities. Long time, extremely satisfied patient.

Dr. Hendler and his staff provide professional and caring dental treatment to older adults. Dr. Hendler treats patients and their family members and caregivers with respect and patience. The team at the Ina T Allen Dental Center know how to evaluate and accommodate special needs that are common among older adults. The office on the Emory University campus has convenient parking and is warm and pleasant.
