A shared mindset
The Cheetah Way consists of our purpose, values, competencies and strategic priorities.
Purpose
Our purpose—to transform surgery, advance care and change lives—guides our company, motivating us each day to fulfill our vision.
Values
Our values—we think, we do, we care—create a common belief system that we universally share as a company, which supports our purpose. Because we know trust is deepened when we act from the same place.
Competencies
