The HOPE & HEALING Project will launch in Kansas City, Missouri in 2007, with the goal of designing a CENTER dedicated to assisting patients/families/caregivers in crisis. Centers will be designed within healthcare environments who align with the NATIONAL CENTER for COMPASSIONATE CARE as partners.

This company has provided over 5000 professional development seminars at the national & international level. A portfolio of offerings has been designed by Debra Townsend, and will be presented to select coordinators for review. Organizations that become SYNERGY PARTNERS have the ability to associate with a seasoned platform artist, who will represent their organization at a host of national nursing events. In addition, The CONCEPTS CONSORTIUM is an alliance of 20 established national presenters, all exemplary and sought-after facilitators. This partnership allows you to integrate their services, bringing national level programming to your organization for a drastically reduced rate.

This company has served caregivers by creating affirmations and artistic reflections. Talented artists have united with Debra Townsend to design hundreds of poetic and soulful pieces, all with the purpose of valuing and affirming those who care at the bedside, and those who lead with amazing grace. In addition, published works through this division include: THE HEART OF EXCEPTIONAL HEALING, Debra's gift book and a gift to nursing. Approximately forty audio books, six audio albums, and multiple series of note cards/affirmation collections have been produced.
