A full house in Santiago

Yesterday evening, we had the pleasure of gathering with healthcare leaders from across the region for a Planetree networking event in Santiago.

It was a full house and a meaningful evening of connection, conversation, and shared learning around person centered care. From the initial networking session to the discussions over dinner, the energy in the room reflected a strong commitment to advancing more compassionate, human centered healthcare.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a memorable event, and to Ambrosia Restaurant for the warm welcome and outstanding experience.

¡Una casa llena en Santiago!

Anoche tuvimos el placer de reunirnos con líderes de atención centrada en la persona en un evento de networking de Planetree en Santiago, Chile.

Fue una noche llena y muy significativa de conexión, conversación y aprendizaje compartido en torno a la atención centrada en la persona. Desde la sesión inicial de networking hasta las conversaciones durante la cena, la energía en el ambiente reflejaba un fuerte compromiso con avanzar hacia una atención más compasiva y humana.

Gracias a todos los que nos acompañaron y contribuyeron a hacer de este un evento tan memorable, y al Restaurante Ambrosia por la cálida bienvenida y la experiencia excepcional.

Eid Mubarak 🌙

As Ramadan comes to a close, we extend our heartfelt wishes to all who are observing Eid Al-Fitr.

This year, for many in our global community, the holiday arrives during a time of uncertainty and challenge. We hold in our thoughts those affected by ongoing conflict and recognize the resilience of families and healthcare professionals who continue to serve with compassion and strength.

May this Eid bring moments of peace, reflection, and connection.
