Creating Moments That Matter

The HOPE Experience Essentials: Creating Moments That Matter program is designed to inspire and empower phlebotomy professionals to create meaningful connections, enhance service excellence, and reinforce the values that shape exceptional patient experiences. Through interactive discussions, storytelling, and reflective practices, participants will explore how their actions contribute to a culture of hope, trust, and compassionate care.
