We are pleased to announce that this year’s Sharing and Caring Week will take place October 19–23, with the theme “17 Years of Making Every Voice Count.”

This year’s theme recognizes the collective impact of patients, families, staff, physicians, volunteers, and learners in shaping care. The theme provides an opportunity to celebrate key milestones, recognize the partnerships that have driven meaningful improvements, and reflect on the evolution of patient and family engagement. It also invites us to look ahead and reinforce our commitment to ensuring every voice continues to influence the future of care. The week will feature a variety of activities designed to be engaging and inclusive, while reflecting our organizational values of Diversity, Compassion, Excellence, Innovation, and Accountability. The main event, Sharing and Caring Expo, will take place on Friday,
October 23, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Auditorium.
