What does Planetree membership look like in practice?

For Planetree Organizational Members, it includes Planetree Office Hours — monthly, live virtual gatherings that create space for connection, shared learning, and real-time support.

Office Hours bring together Planetree team members and person-centered care leaders from across our global community to explore questions, share experiences, and learn together. This is one of the ways Planetree partners with organizations to help make care more human.

Office Hours are available exclusively to Planetree Organizational Members. Learn more about Planetree membership here : https://ow.ly/BGli50YgEql

At Planetree, we love celebrating the incredible people who make person-centered care a reality! That’s why we launched the Employee Spotlight series. Today, we’re celebrating Stephanie Adler Yuan, VP of Engagement. For the past two years, she has been an integral part of the Planetree team.

💡 What She Does: She leads Planetree’s education, certification, and community engagement efforts, working closely with our global PFPC partners to strengthen and advance person centered care worldwide.

❤️ What She Loves About Her Job: She values the deep connection this role creates with a global community committed to improving healthcare for everyone. Working alongside inspiring leaders around the world, as well as Planetree and PFPC colleagues across six continents and many time zones, is a constant source of motivation and purpose.

🎉 Fun Fact: My first job after college was possibly my favorite: editing and writing Fodor's travel guides to places like California, Japan, and NYC (which was as fun AND as poorly compensated as it sounds).

💬 Favorite Quote: “What we cannot imagine cannot come into being.”
— bell hooks

Thank you, Stephanie, for being part of the team! Leave a comment to learn more or say hello 👋
