What is People-Centered Care
People-Centered Care means placing people and their families at the center of the decision-making process and recognizing them as true partners and team members, working with healthcare providers to provide the best services and achieve the best outcomes.
While it’s not always about taking more time, Patient-Centered Care continue to be about creating a human connection and making the most of the little time we have.

Promotes communication, choices, respect, and building on our individual and collective strengths.
Leads to better health outcomes, wiser allocation of resources, and greater patient and family satisfaction.
focuses on doing something WITH you (as client) and your family rather than only doing something FOR you.

- Information sharing
- Partnership and participation
- Collaboration
