While serving as Director of Patient Experience in acute care facilities, Alex realized that patient experience was highly dependent on interactions with caregivers, many of which suffered from poor morale and burnout. Administration was beginning to connect its poor caregiver job satisfaction with turnover and how this impacted patient care and their bottom line. In an attempt to improve satisfaction among caregivers and ultimately patient experience, Alex uncovered the connection between feeling appreciated and providing better patient care.

This realization that patient satisfaction and team member engagement are directly tied to care providers feeling appreciated led Alex to found Wambi.
