🚀 How to boost patient outcomes and lower turnover
A powerful strategy for building an elite culture at your rehab center
If your rehab center is struggling with:
Low staff morale
High turnover
Mediocre patient outcomes
It might not be a lack of systems or goals that's holding you back.
Today, I’m sharing a story about Sarah, the director of a struggling rehab center…
And how she turned her center around by embracing a unique role that could help your rehab center go from good to great.
The backstory…
Sarah thought she was doing everything right.
She had a clear mission statement, set goals, did performance reviews, and all the “right” things.
But something was missing.
Until one day, she had an epiphany about who she needed to become to turn things around:
The Chief Reminding Officer
Sarah realized that creating a culture of excellence and accountability isn't about grand gestures or fancy programs.
It's about consistent, persistent reminders of what matters most.
Every. Single. Day.
Here's what she did:
She started every morning huddle with a patient success story. Reminding the team why their work matters.
She asked one simple question in every meeting: “How does this align with our values?” Keeping the team focused on what really counts.
She celebrated small wins. Publicly. Daily. Reinforcing the behaviors that drive excellence.
She shared her own mistakes and learnings. Showing that accountability starts at the top.
She put the mission statement on everyone's desk. A constant visual reminder of their purpose.
And here's the kicker: Sarah didn't just do this once and call it a day…
She did it every single day, no exceptions.
Some days, she felt like a broken record… Like her team must be sick of hearing the same things.
But slowly, things started to change.
Staff started taking more initiative. They held each other accountable. They celebrated each other's successes.
And the patients? They started to feel the difference too.
Better care. Better outcomes. Better experiences…
All because Sarah embraced her role as the Chief Reminding Officer.
So here's my challenge to you:
For the next 30 days, try being your center's Chief Reminding Officer, by finding ways to remind your team of:
Your mission
