About the broom Parmer Medical Center website


“If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”


Martin Luther King, Jr.

Every associate at PMC understands that his or her ultimate responsibility is to serve others and to do so with Excellence – to serve our patients, our visitors and our peers – whether that service be in the form of preparing a meal, cleaning a floor, performing diagnostic tests, providing life-sustaining health care services, or any other function we take on...Whatever the task at hand, it is our goal to perform it with Excellence.

This inspirational quote by Dr. King embodies the spirit of humility and drive to Excellence upon which we have based our efforts at PMC. We are called to the healing ministry, and in so serving you we are committed to doing it “well” – with Excellence – 100% of the time. The image of the broom will serve to remind US of this motivational message and our commitment to you.

It is our sincere desire that when YOU see the image of a PMC associate holding a broom, it will very simply serve to remind you of this fact:


In all aspects of our service to you,
we are committed to achieving Excellence.

We expect Excellence of ourselves
and ask that you hold us to that same standard.
