This month saw a world changing achievement by the School of
Health and Human Services (SHHS). After nearly two years of work and
collaboration, the school became the first in the nation to earn the Planetree designation. Heralded around the world for starting and sustaining a unique
model of patient centered care, the Planetree organization has been helping
hospitals put patients first. Now National University has paved the way for
universities to have the same principles by being the first to bring this
approach to academia. Read all about the achievement in detail HERE, and read
