Summary

What does dignity feel like in health experiences and outcomes? Why does it matter now more than ever? We’ll explore the role of dignity as a transformative force and unpack its emerging as a vital indicator of health quality, trust and connection. Dignity is reflected in how we’re treated, heard and how care is delivered. When it’s missing, the consequences are profound. As we evolve and reimagine the healthcare ecosystem so that it works better for everyone, health dignity offers a powerful lens that reveals opportunities to improve how help make health innovation real for more people.
