Tenet’s Ethics & Compliance department is responsible for the company’s values-based ethics program. The ethics program was originally developed in 1994. Based on the principles included in our Standards of Conduct, the program includes a process for identifying, reviewing, analyzing and coordinating ethical questions and issues within Tenet. The primary focus of the program is to promote and maintain the highest ethical standards in all of Tenet's business practices. Two significant activities that support this focus are the Ethics Action Line (EAL) and the annual ethics sessions held for all employees and the board of directors.
