Wendy is one of the foundational catalysts and unwavering champions of the international patient experience movement.
“Wendy Leebov represents the foundation of our field, while keeping an eye to its future. Through her career, she has championed the expansion of the experience conversation and fostered an essential focus on human communication in healthcare,” said Jason Wolf, PhD, CPXP, President & CEO of The Beryl Institute. “She has been a vital mentor and supporter of the Institute from our inception, reflecting all she has done every day of her career to foster the growth of individuals and support our movement. In introducing this award, we honor Wendy’s legacy of serving as a spark for all us.”
Nominations for the 2021 Wendy Leebov Championing Experience Award will open in January 2021.
