Institute for Person-Centered Care

The Institute for Person-Centered Care (IPCC) at St. Ambrose University is leading a national conversation on how individuals, families, and organizations can work together to put people at the center of care.

About the Institute for Person-Centered Care

At the IPCC, we believe care should be co-designed with the people it serves. Person-centered care is an interdisciplinary approach that honors individual values and preferences, promotes collaborative decision-making, and builds strong partnerships between professionals and families.

Through workforce development, continuing education, and building a base of evidence, we create systems that are relationship-based, accessible, integrated, and focused on whole-person health—cultivating an environment where everyone can thrive.
