Our ambassadors

30 care organizations partnered over the past few years to find inspiring and warm care moments. Each care organization selected three teams to participate in this project. The multidisciplinary members of the teams were supported by us in the development of a Mangomoment Culture. This included local inspiration workshops, regional knowledge-sharing moments, network meetings and, in 2021, a first symposium.

We thank in advance the following healthcare organizations for their enthusiasm!
