About the Continuum Project

Our vision is that all people across the continuum of age and illness receive care that focuses on what matters most to them, enhances well-being, and fosters respect and belonging.

Our mission is to elevate patient voices by improving communication and care planning between clinical teams, patients and caregivers.  We accomplish this through team-based education, patient and caregiver engagement, clinical champion development, data-driven improvement, and access to tools and resources.
