Pledge to Lead for Safety

We Lead For Safety:  Take the Pledge

Leading for safety is a daunting challenge that requires strength and courage. Committed leaders lead with intent.  They set the purpose and direction within their organizations—they lead for zero harm.  Committed leaders do not allow for delays or excuses. Instead, they are ready to strategically face areas of improvement, and are eager to assess and sustain a culture of safety. In the healthcare industry, with lives on the line, every step to reduce medical error must be taken with purpose and direction.
