Brandon’s Patient Philosophy:
“Stems from the ethical principles in nursing: providing quality, evidence-based education and information that the patient may need to make their own informed decision, ensuring that the patient’s best interest is the priority, and providing unbiased, fair, and equal care that is safe, effective, and high quality.”
