Because your voice matters.

International “What Matters to You?” Day – June 6, 2019 Webinar

We’ve encouraged health care providers and patients to have “What matters to you?” conversations each and every day over the past year. On June 6, 2019, International “What Matters to You?” Day, we hosted a webinar to celebrate the genuine partnerships these conversations helped form!

On the webinar, Joan Chaya and Damara Gutnick from New York’s Montefiore Hudson Valley Collaborative talked about how the organization championed the spread of “What Matters to You?” across a vast provider network in the state. They also spoke about the relationship between “What Matters to You?” and joy at work, and how asking the question affects the patient experience. Check it out!

The bottom line is because we’re caring for patients. People who know best are those who are receiving the care so it makes logical sense that we would consult with them about their experiences. By connecting with PVN we have been able to educate our teams about the value of patient partners and how important their perspective is in our services.
