Conversation builds a healthy community
At Virginia Mason, we believe that knowing, “What’s important to you?” is as important to the conversation as knowing, “What’s ailing you?” When we listen to and understand one another — not just as health care provider and patient, but also as people — we form the kind of bonds that drive better care.
That’s why we’ve created #VirginiaListens, a series of activities to help us all step back from our busy days and build stronger personal connections. We invite you to take a moment, think about what matters most, and share it with us.
