Crash course: piecing together the continuum of care.
Since Laurel Health System CEO Robert Morris was injured in a devastating motorcycle accident on Aug. 13, he's gained a patient's perspective on the extent to which his rural Pennsylvania system is achieving the "other-centered" approach he's attempting to foster across Laurel. Morris and others, whose care spans the continuum of services needed by many patients, are challenging the notions about what it means to build a true continuum of care. Their stories reveal the achievements made to date--and the obstacles that remain.
