Healthcare Providers & Clinicians

Getting Started

There is no shortage of things to do in today’s clinical practices. It can be easy to lose sight of the larger vision: how the work ultimately benefits patients, family members and health care professionals. Creating a culture of person and family engagement creates purposeful connections between tasks, goals and the bigger picture of improved quality and outcomes. It’s also a cornerstone of cultivating joy in work.

If you are a clinician/provider or a member of the care team looking for a guide on how to partner with patients and families, you’re in the right place
