At NRC Picker, we believe patient-centered care is about engaging the patient and his or her family in every step of care. We believe that caregivers - regardless of rank or station - must be respectful and responsive to the needs, wants and values of the patient and family.

We believe focusing on patient-centeredness is of critical importance for caregivers. The education and best practices around patient-centered care can be the critical healing differential for patients.
