| There is a way of practicing healthcare in this country that relies on some of the oldest skills that healers have developed over the centuries-the skills of relationship. |

Relationship-centered care regional groups are formed by healthcare professionals and advocates who want to join together to improve the "care" in healthcare. If you're visiting this page, you have an interest in taking relationship-centered care from idea to action. What creates and sustains healthcare is commitment, love, passion, and relationships. What inhibits effective healthcare is time constraints, uncertainty, economics, and the momentum of a health system gone awry.
Participation and collaboration are at the heart of every regional RCC group. Individuals join RCC groups to share their unique gifts and to help accomplish a shared vision of RCC. Membership in an RCC group can rejuvenate and reinspire those who work to restore relationship to the practice of healthcare.
RCC is not about seminars or workshops as much as it is about building of a community of inquiry. The common thread of RCC groups is that, through building and deepening relationship, the groups provide support to their members, as well as information and activities that benefit the surrounding community.
