Brad Kruger, Vice President of Patient Experience at Advocate Health, shares on the Becker’s Healthcare Podcast how patients’ individual voices make a difference in how we deliver care. “So what we've seen, especially in populations of people that may not have trusted health care in the past, is that listening shows respect,” explained Brad. “And through respect, we build trust. And trust then leads to improved loyalty, improved engagement, improved quality and safety.” Hear how one patient’s feedback on the availability of disposable hijabs benefitted many: https://bit.ly/3zUNpZz

Shortly before boarding his connecting flight at Charlotte Douglas Airport, Ken Jeffries had a cardiac episode. Claire Cerbie, a former Atrium Health Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute nurse was boarding the same flight when she noticed Ken exhibiting signs of a heart attack. Her quick thinking and immediate action, including performing CPR and using an AED, brought Ken back to a stable condition as they waited for additional medical support to arrive. Ken was then treated at Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center by interventional cardiologist Dr. William Downey. "Most people who this happens to die,” Downey said. “This is sudden death. Claire's CPR kept him alive.” “A ‘thank you’ is not enough. I am so appreciative and indebted to you,” Ken said as he spoke to Claire over a zoom. Since receiving cardiac care from the team at Atrium Health Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute, Ken has been able to recover and is a strong advocate for CPR and AED availability and training. Ken’s heartfelt gratitude for Claire is a powerful reminder of the impact of quick action and CPR training. Read more about Ken’s story here: https://ietv.co/3S4QEUC

Health care providers can only treat patients if we can reach them. At Advocate Health, we find ways to remove the barriers that patients sometimes run into when seeking care. That can mean expanding eligibility for financial assistance, connecting patients with resources that address unmet social needs, and even deploying mobile clinics that literally meet patients where they are. As our health system grows, we’re bringing more resources and expertise back home to the communities where our patients live. Find out more about how we’re bridging gaps in access to care and investing in programs that lead to more equitable and resilient communities: https://bit.ly/3LjftZg
