We’ve encouraged health care providers and patients to have “What matters to you?” conversations each and every day over the past year. On June 6, International “What Matters to You?” Day, over 80 people joined us to celebrate the genuine partnerships these conversations helped form!

Our star guests were Joan Chaya and Damara Gutnick from New York’s Montefiore Hudson Valley Collaborative who talked about how the organization championed the spread of “What Matters to You?” across several health care sites throughout their state. They also spoke about the impact “What Matters to You?” is having on providers’ joy at work and how it is helping providers feel more equipped to handle barriers which prevent patients from achieving their health-related goals.

Their next step is to track certain patient outcomes and experience data at sites that have successfully implemented “What Matters to You?”. Early findings are showing “What Matters to You?” is making a measurable impact! We're looking forward to following their story and sharing it back with you.
