Join us as we discuss community resources, collaboration, and patient-centered care with Kiera Flahart, PTA from Encompass Health East Valley.

Morgan, Val, and Kiera each have a unique experience with managing patient care and caregivers and they share their perspectives on how best to navigate early interventions and the transition to outpatient care. Kiera points out the three C's of advocacy: collaborate, connect, and communicate - all values that we each believe in while managing patient care.

Kiera shares details not only about the upcoming National Patient Safety Awareness Week and events being held during the week at Encompass Health East Valley, but also many resources available to patients and caregivers the community may be unaware of.

Thank you to Kiera and Encompass Health for all you do for our community!!
