Transforming health systems through co-creation and human-centered design.
RE-HUMANIZING HEALTH SYSTEMS
Let’s work together to transform the future of health.
Public health and healthcare workers are beyond burnt out—they are traumatized, suffering moral distress and mental illness, and they are leaving the profession in droves.
Compassion, equity, and human-centered design can help us heal and repair—and improve outcomes for patients and communities.
A thought leader in global health who sees the world through a systems perspective.
