SYNERGY is the emergent leadership network of healthcare institutions in the Caribbean. For the partners of the network Person Centered Healthcare is the core of the experience the patients or residents have. The purpose of SYNERGY is to learn from other partners in the network in order to improve the quality of life of the people that are served and of those who work within the organization. The target group of the network, the leaders, can be Board members, directors, management team members, quality managers.

The following organisations partner in SYNERGY:
