Join us for this inspiring webinar where we have the opportunity to hear from two healthcare organizations that embraced change due to a strong patient voice. Allina Health in Minnesota was struggling with how to handle COVID-19 visitor restrictions and one Patient and Family Advisor used her patient perspective to co-design an entire program that transformed that issue. When the University of Wisconsin needed guidance regarding addressing health inequity, they were able to find leadership in their Patient and Family Advisor. If your organization is looking to build or rebuild a Patient and Family Advisor Program, this webinar may just be the spark of inspiration you are looking for.
