“Required reading for any healthcare leader that wants to set their organization apart from all others… The Message from Nightingale is loud and clear… and it means more today than ever before.”

M. Bridget Duffy, MD.
(then) Chief Experience Officer,
Cleveland Clinic Foundation

“I will never forget the simple words inscribed by Joe Tye in my copy of ” The Florence Prescription.” In it, he wrote, “Proceed until apprehended.” That short phrase proved to be a mantra repeated throughout the pages of his book as he transformed Florence Nightingale into a modern-day visitor to a healthcare center. What followed throughout the pages of the book was a humbling look at how much we as healthcare workers need the renewed sense of purpose that comes from doing the right thing for the right reasons. If we look back at history and see how one woman could do so much good with so little resources, it certainly makes our work more attainable. Truly an inspirational piece of work from one of the master storytellers.”
