How many times have you simply asked your doctor to listen? How many times does it seem like the nurse is just too busy to slow down to hear your words? Not listening to the patient is one of the easiest things to do in healthcare, yet it is often one of the first things forgotten in the midst of balancing the care of many patients…

What if your doctor did listen, and what if your nurse did slow down? Would you feel heard? Would you feel loved? Would both of those things lead to better service of your needs as a patient confiding in your clinic? From what we at Arlumen Health have heard, those answers are “yes”, “yes”, and “yes!” These simple acts can make the world of a difference in a day and age where care feels ever-more depersonalized and dehumanized.

Listening is the first tenet of three that are engrained into every professional who calls Arlumen Health their work-home. Nothing else can be accomplished for a patient if their care providers cannot listen first. For this reason, it is the first tenet. At Arlumen Health we strive to always listen, and we will always acknowledge our patients when they let us know that we are not – that is a promise to you, the lovely people of our Texas!
