Transformational Opportunities within Organizations

Transformational Opportunities within Organizations To flourish in the current healthcare culture, organizations must create environments that redefine health, foster personal connection, and celebrate human potential. They must reflect and sustain the values and behaviors that are congruent with caring and healing.
Healthcare organizations engage our services for a variety of reasons:

  • We assist organizations in developing healing environments that promote the redefinition of healthcare based on relationship-centered care and human caring science.
  • Our programs provide the framework for the renewal of the patient and healthcare provider relationship resulting in improved patient satisfaction and nursing satisfaction.
  • Our healing retreats reward and nourish caregivers and managers and teach practical self-renewal skills.
  • We support the emergence of and transition to transformational leadership models based on partnership and collaboration.
  • Our programs emphasize the importance of caring for the caregiver as integral with caring for others.
  • We guide our clients to practice with a caring-healing intentionality, honoring their innate wisdom and sharing their unique talents while cultivating their creative spirit.
  • We assist organizations in fostering a practice environment that positively impacts nurse recruitment and retention.
  • Our programs enhance the organizational profile consistent with JCAHO standards and Magnet hospital status.
  • Nurse educators seek qualified faculty to assist in the integration of CAM in traditional nursing curricula.
  • Nurses’ Week celebrations and pre and post conference workshops.

"The work of The BirchTree Center touches the very heart and core of nursing, helping to both heal and restore the foundation of nursing to release the caring-healing work that transcends time and place. The profession needs direction, hope, and help in sustaining and rekindling its healing arts within the context of caring relationships. The BirchTree Center and its excellent work can make the difference for individual and system healing, facilitating transformation of health care and institutions."
