Not everyone has a prepared professional mission statement, and not everyone is expected to. This question is aimed at determining whether you are familiar with Cerner's mission statement and whether you identify with it in some way. "Cerner is devoted to improving the quality of life for everyone we serve. True to our corporate mission, we seek to develop the communities where our associates live and work, so that individuals have access to the tools they need to be educated, healthy, and productive." So meditate on why you chose a profession in the healthcare industry or health information technologies. The goal here is to state, in your own words, how you would define the meaning you've found in your profession and how it aligns with Cerner's mission statement.
