The Hearts in Healthcare Members’ Community can support you to live the values of human-centred healthcare. Meet like-minded colleagues, access resources (including our foundational ‘Reawakening Purpose‘ workshop), find out about special events, and have a voice in shaping the movement itself. We consult with our members regularly and try to be really honest and transparent about our efforts and struggles to change the world.
The culture of our Members’ Community is one of trust and shared understanding. We host a private social network on a secure part of our website. It’s a confidential online space for the heart of our community to come together in mutual support. (To be honest, we’re wondering if this space adds much value to our members – it’s not been much used but it does offer a very secure, private and ad-free space for groups to share their work and/or support each other.)
When you join the Members’ Community, you’ll be asked to tell us about yourself so we can introduce you to the other members.
In May 2016 we launched a private Facebook Group, ‘Compassionate Healthcare Incubator‘ and that’s a very active group expanding rapidly.

Robin and Meredith Youngson own and run Hearts in Healthcare as a loss-making organization, subsidised by our personal income. We continue to fund this website, our members’ online community, and all the infrastructure that supports our international movement. We work hard to add new features and to develop new resources, such as workshops and short films. We offer our time free to small groups but receive funds through book sales, lecture fees, consulting work, and member donations.
We have moved into the ‘gift economy’ where we no longer quote fees for speaking or consulting. We promise to serve an organisation as best we can, for our expenses to be paid, and then invite a donation in support of our work. We find that generosity begets generosity.
As a measure of your commitment to this movement, we ask that you consider a financial contribution according to your means. There is no suggested subscription, you can pay as much or as little as you like. If it’s not the right time for you to make a donation, we’ll give you free membership. We don’t want money to be a barrier.
