The Blue Chair: A Symbol of Listening
Shirley Roberson envisioned the day when our health system provides high-quality care based on patient-clinician connection and empathy. Shirley's story of asking a clinician to sit in a blue chair and listen to her is symbolic of C-TAC's mission to ensure that all people with a serious are seen and heard. To honor Shirley's legacy and the millions of patients like her, we created the Blue Chair Fund.
