What is HUMANCARE?

When people think of their health-care experience, they think of long wait times, harsh lighting and cold rooms. They think of being unheard and uninvolved in decisions about their care. They think of getting lost in a frustrating system. And it’s that much worse for those experiencing disadvantage.

Nearly 70% of Canadians say the system needs an overhaul, and we don’t disagree. That’s why, along with our patients and their families, we’re launching HUMANCARE – a $1-billion movement to reinvent Canada’s patient experience.

Because we are St. Michael’s, and we stop at nothing.

In the hospital, I always felt like Alice at the Mad Hatter’s tea party: I had woken up in a world that seemed utterly logical to its inhabitants, but quite mad to me.

The lighting was harsh, the food terrible, the rooms loud. Weren’t people trying to heal?

The day of surgery, we waited and waited with no update until an anesthetist finally appeared and said it was too late in the day, so we’d have to come back.

Patients don’t experience their health care as discrete parts, so it shouldn’t function that way.

The HUMANCARE Vision

A health-care experience where patients and their loved ones feel comforted when they’re at their most vulnerable, connected to the team who cares for them, and confident in their treatment – no matter who they are or where they come from.
