In 1992, Griffin Hospital instituted Planetree, an innovative model of healthcare that puts patients' needs first. Every aspect of care at Griffin Hospital is shaped by Planetree principles - from our welcoming, comfortable interiors, to our emphasis on patient and family education and involvement, to our exceptional healthcare.
Within the Hewitt Center for Breast Wellness, soothing colors, comfortable furnishings, and other accessories, such as a coffee bar and water feature, create intimate spaces for patients and family members. Complementing this healing environment, the Center's staff is committed to educating and empowering patients to be active participants in their own care journey. Griffin Hospital is one of three hospitals nationwide to be honored by the Planetree organization with its "2010 Distinction for Leadership and Innovation in Patient-Centered Care Award."
