Shaping the Conditions for Care: The Impact of Trust

In this Town Hall, we will consider how decisions made far away from clinics and hospitals impact trust.

Three panelists—each representing often-overlooked voices in the healthcare ecosystem—will explore how the conditions of industrialized healthcare—including its culture, policies, processes, and physical spaces—affect the ability of patients, caregivers, clinicians, and staff to build and sustain trust.

They’ll also share ideas for what we can do to change that.

Panelists: Carolyn Canfield, patient advocate, educator, and TPR Fellow Erin O'Malley, Executive Director of The Coalition for Trust in Health and Science, and Gary Schwitzer, a healthcare journalist, educator, and founder of HealthNewsReviews Substack Meet them through their bios: https://www.patientrevolution.org/library/trusttownhall
