DEAN'S PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IS PROUD TO CELEBRATE 25 YEARS IN BUSINESS.
In 1993, Jennifer Dean had an idea that was designed by a higher power. She knew that without putting our clients as our first priority we would not be able to deliver the quality of service that would make this company what it is today. We want to say thank you to all of our clients, employees and vendors that have been with us throughout the last 25 years!
The DPS Solution Pool provides skilled temporary staff to the Houston Methodist Specialty Physician Group and Houston Methodist Primary Care Group during planned and unplanned absences and vacancies. We strive to add value and quality of care by providing staff trained in Methodist systems and ICARE Values.
Houston Methodist ICARE Values
INTEGRITY - "We are honest and ethical in all we say and do."
COMPASSION - "We embrace the whole person and respond to emotional, ethical and spiritual concerns as well as physical needs."
ACCOUNTABILITY - "We hold ourselves accountable for our actions."
RESPECT - "We treat every individual as a person of worth, dignity and value."
EXCELLENCE - "We strive to be the best at what we do and a model for others to emulate."
The DPS Solution Pool staff are trained by Houston Methodist on ICARE Values, EPIC and Houston Methodist Systems.
