Planetree is an organization that advances person-centered care, offering certification programs and consulting services to healthcare institutions. Its approach emphasizes human connection, patient empowerment, and comprehensive well-being, moving beyond traditional clinical models. They provide a framework and resources for healthcare systems to integrate these principles effectively.
Founded in 1978 by Angelica Thieriot, Planetree emerged from her personal experience as a hospitalized patient who felt disempowered and isolated within the healthcare system. This insight led her to establish an organization dedicated to fostering compassionate and holistic care environments that prioritize the individual’s needs and preferences.
The organization serves healthcare systems and professionals globally, aiming to transform the patient experience. Planetree's vision centers on humanizing healthcare, advocating for environments where patients are active participants in their care, and empathy guides every interaction, ultimately striving for widespread adoption of person-centered practices.
