Project Overview
PULSE of NY completed a strategic plan and we want to move from PULSE of NY to the name Pulse Center for Patient Safety Education & Advocacy. We are a patient safety organization and advocate and educate through seminars and classes and at the bedside about navigating through the healthcare system for safe, quality medical care. Our focus is on the patient and their family and serving them. We are not about the blaming following a bad outcome but preventing them.We are struggling financially and think it might be because we seem limited to New York. We expanded our board to someone in Fla and will now have a relationship with a large academic university teaching our program. Founded in 1996 we have years as a grassroots small organization. We want to change the name and branding just enough to expand on our new strategic plan.Announce our new name, logo, website and show that we have a stronger focus and getting away from the "grassroots" look
