Late on a Tuesday afternoon, the Manager of Patient Experience received a phone call asking her to call Karri, the wife of one of our patients who was on a ventilator. Karri was struggling with updating her mother-in-law because she was very upset with the news she received, making it difficult to call her husband’s mom.

This narrative describes the feelings and emotions experienced by Karri, along with what the Middlesex Health did to put <em>people before policy</em> to reduce the suffering for Karri and provide family-centered care. <strong>Experience Framework</strong> This article is associated with the Patient, Family & Community Engagement lens of The Beryl Institute Experience Framework.
