What We Do:
At the core of our mission is the belief that healthcare providers have a duty not only to prevent harm but to help heal patients and families when it occurs. Being candid in all aspects of patient and family interaction, and avoiding the typical deny and defend response that often follows errors, is vital to that healing relationship.
