Health care isn’t a lost cause: We can effect change, one story and one experience at a time

It may seem like everywhere we look, there is something wrong or “broken” in health care. Articles published in The Journal of Health Design (The JHD) reflect 13 incredulous, yet unfortunately “sad” realities about the state of health care that are evident worldwide. There is reason for hope, though, as important research and experiences published in The JHD convey. Much can be done to improve the patient experience, one story and one experience at a time. We provide a platform to share those important messages.
