Bringing together patients, families, and providers to create a patient-centered health system.
Compassionate care is not just an individual skill. We believe it’s a shared responsibility across all health collaborators: patients, families, healthcare providers, educators, and the health system.
Our work aims to build a healthcare culture that benefits everyone and supports equity, diversity, inclusion, and people living with disabilities. By bringing together diverse perspectives through a compassionate care model, we can create a health system that grows, learns, and adapts. We strive to raise the standards for how we teach, assess, and practice care with compassion.
