I was reminded of this when I saw this great video from GetWellNetwork. I’m told they showed this at their user conference before their CEO started his keynote. Take a few minutes to watch this video:

It’s great to see a company that focuses so much on the patient. I love patient stories like this. It reframes and reminds me of the important work we’re doing in healthcare.
