“This crisis has created a moment of pause for many. We can even say it has created strain, fear and distress. But I would assert that it has not stopped us nor squelched what we remain to believe is possible. As you review the contributions in this special issue of Patient Experience Journal, I believe you will uncover a new idea or practice, discover an inspiration or an opportunity to reflect, release or breathe.” said Jason Wolf, Founding Editor of PXJ and President & CEO of The Beryl Institute. “The thoughtful contributions of our authors paint a picture of the moment in which we find ourselves and will capture the history of all we have done to address it, with the power and grace of humanity found at the heart of healthcare.”
