A Holistic Approach to Infusing Hospitality in Healthcare

At Northwell Health, our internal definition for patient experience is: Every Moment Matters. Infusing hospitality into our organization’s DNA plays homage to our definition in that every person, every role, every moment is a moment of absolute truth.
