National University’s Department of Health and Human Services achieved Planetree Silver Recognition for Significant Advancement in Person-Centered Care in October 2017. National University is proud to be the only academic institution in the world to achieve Planetree International recognition.

To attain this honor, National University integrated person-centered principles into the curriculum of each of its healthcare programs of study. In preparing the next generation of healthcare leaders, National University transformed the academic culture of its health science programs into a student-centric model, using person-centeredness as the conceptual framework to support all learning activities. Integrating these principles throughout the coursework prepares students with the knowledge and skills required to support a culture of person-centered care.
