This interactive exploratory journey will help you understand how the “connections we make” and the “way we support” are the things that matter most in the “Person Centered Approach” we are all trying to master. Using tools to help structure the care we are delivering, Krisie will help us understand that the “Person Centered Care” we are delivering comes from the “connection” we make, not the procedure we deliver.
