Get to know ​PLANETREE INTERNATIONAL

Planetree is an International Accreditation that certifies that hospitals, NGO's, and educational institutions become person-centered. It began in the 1970s when Angelica Thierot had a horrible experience at a hospital. Since then, she has made it her life work to restore the "person" into healthcare. Planetree is now entering the educational system with the same purpose.
