To deliver on this mission, we employ a team of more than 10,000 dedicated, compassionate individuals who share our passion for putting others first and commitment to our unique culture: The Wake Way.

The Wake Way has been a vital part of who we are and what we do for the past 60 years. The Wake Way means going above and beyond to help our patients, their families and each other, providing not only outstanding medical treatment, but the care and caring that leads to healing. It is a commitment to caring that goes far beyond our walls, as we work to make our community a healthier place to live, work and play.  

It’s because of the Wake Way that people are proud to spend 40, 45 and even 50 years as members of the WakeMed family.
