Mirta’a Way is an upcoming nonprofit patient advocacy organization dedicated to protecting patient safety, dignity, and voice across health care and care adjacent settings. Founded in honor of Mirta, the organization exists to ensure the patients and families feel seen, heard, respected, and safe – especially during vulnerable moments involving illness, hospitalizations, loss, or transitions of care. 

Mirta’s Way operates at the intersection of compassion and accountability. Through patient advocacy, education, community outreach, and systems navigation support, the organization empowers patients and families to understand their rights, speak up without fear, and deserve care that honors their humanity. 

Over the next 3-5 years, Mirta’s Way will establish itself as a trusted community-based patient advocacy nonprofit with sustainable funding, strong partnerships, and measurable improvements in patient experience and safety. 

Mirta’s Way is a free standing, independent nonprofit organization. The organization is not partnered with, affiliated with, endorsed by, or governed by any hospital, health system, or clinical entity. To preserve its independence, integrity, and patient first mission, Mirta’s Way does not accept donations, sponsorships, or monetary contributions from hospitals or clinics, and will not engage in funding relationships that could influence or compromise its advocacy on behalf of patients and families.
