UM BWMC is a Relationship Based Care Organization
At UM BWMC, we strive to provide an environment where patients, families
and colleagues collaborate in the delivery of care. Patients and families
are encouraged to participate in their decision making and care providers
listen to and honor the perspectives of patients, families and co-workers.
Relationship Based Care is a philosophy and model of care that centers around three essential relationships: the care provider's relationship with patients and families, with him or herself, and with his or her colleagues.
What does this mean for our patients? You can rest assured that every staff member you encounter during your stay is dedicated to serving you, your family and the rest of your care team with the utmost respect and compassion. You and your family are the center of our focus.
