Midland Memorial Hospital in Midland, Texas had built a $165 million state-of-the-art medical tower, but patient satisfaction was only at 1 percent. Per the Chief Operating Officer, Bob Dent, in a Washington Post article, the missing ingredient was empathy.

The result was remarkable! Over time, their patient satisfaction rose from 1% to 90%.
