Planetree, established in 1978 by a patient who experienced poor care, operates in the Hospitals and Health Care sector with a focus on patient and family centered models of care. Based in Derby, Connecticut, the organization collaborates with hospitals, long-term care facilities, and ambulatory care settings worldwide to promote care that emphasizes kindness, caring, and respect, offering education, resources, and guidance to healthcare providers. Its work centers on three pillars—advocacy, standard setting, and coaching—to advance patient experiences by engaging both individuals and organizations in defining what is important in care, and to support caregivers in transforming the healthcare experience. The company positions itself as a global catalyst and leader for innovative healing-centered care that addresses the body, mind, and spirit. Planetree targets healthcare organizations seeking to improve patient and staff experiences and to adopt person-centered care practices, and it notes notable milestones such as collaborations with the National Academy of Medicine and recognition programs for patient-centered care. A recent development highlighted is the ongoing advancement of the Guiding Framework for Patient and Family Engaged Care, introduced in 2017 and built upon through subsequent activities.
