Remembering patients and families who have lost their life (or quality of life) due to medical errors -
and in tribute to those who work to improve the safety and quality of healthcare for future patients."Together, lighting the path to safe healthcare - today and everyday:
safe, high quality healthcare is neither accidental nor static."

There will be a meeting in Boston in front of the statehouse this Saturday, July 25th, at 11 am for a moment of silence remembering those who have been harmed by medical error.
