About Us

Our Mission

To transform the culture of healthcare relationships so people can live their best lives.

Our guiding principles

We bring everyone to the table

At the Society for Participatory Medicine, we connect everyone who has a stake in healthcare — patients, families, clinicians, payers, researchers, and policy leaders — to work together as partners. We believe collaboration, clear communication, and mutual respect lead to stronger engagement, better education, and care that truly works for people’s lives.
