This year’s National Volunteer Week (April 18-24) focuses on The Value of One, The Power of Many, and reflects on the awe-inspiring acts of kindness by individuals and the magic that happens when we work together. As patient partners, you’ve voiced crucial perspectives and worked tirelessly with health care partners to create change across our health care system.
To see what a difference you’ve made, take a look at our new Partnership Impacts page, full of inspirational stories of collaborative projects that achieved better health care. We also released our 2019-2020 Annual Report earlier this year, which highlights your impact, as well as the work we undertook to grow the network and advance the patient voice.
Our team wanted to share their words of thanks for all the difference you make! See below:
