Transforming Every Interaction into a Moment of Trust, Understanding, and Care
At the Office of Patient Experience and Engagement (OPXE),we believe that every patient interaction is an opportunity to buildtrust, empathy, and connection. Our mission is to humanize healthcare by equipping professionals with the skills to communicate with clarity and compassion.
