Celebrating Patient Safety teams this week and throughout the year

This National Patient Safety Awareness Week we want to recognize the extraordinary teams across our state—rural critical access hospitals, large urban medical centers, specialty facilities and community health systems, who uphold the promise of safe, high‑quality care every day. Your commitment to patients, families and communities is the foundation of trust in healthcare. 

Patient safety is sustained through countless daily actions: preventing harm, listening with empathy and supporting one another in challenging environments. As an association, we are humbled to partner with you. WSHA’s Clinical Excellence team is dedicated to bringing relevant, evidence‑based quality initiatives to the forefront by supporting, and guiding hospitals to advance best practices that reduce harm and elevate outcomes. Your leadership and collaboration moves our state forward. 

Thank you for making patient safety a living commitment—every patient, every shift, every day.
