Reggie Smith | Power of One

The Power of One, created by Reggie Smith, is a remarkable program driven by a profound commitment to patient-centered care. Reggie’s personal experience, having lost her husband Jim to a medical error, has fueled her passion for advocacy. She firmly believes that the Power of One has the potential to bring about significant change if just one person is willing to stand up and speak up for the well-being of others.

The Power of One program recognizes and celebrates those who choose to be change-makers for the greater good. Reggie Smith has designed a special token of appreciation in the form of the Power of One challenge coin. This coin symbolizes a commitment to advocating for others and making a positive impact in healthcare and beyond.

If you find yourself on this webpage because someone has awarded you a Power of One challenge coin, take immense pride in your role as a change-maker. Your dedication to advocating for others is not only commendable but essential in creating a safer and more compassionate world for all. Embrace the Power of One, and together, we can make a difference.

The power of one is a dynamic tool for change and must be applied only after careful thought and applied knowledge to estimate the outcome. Whether used to make a personal change, influence family or a friend or make a difference in improving the environment where you live or work, the power of one must be applied only after you are prepared to defend the consequence of change. I often spend days thinking about the results that may occur before using this powerful tool. It may require research or conversation with someone with expertise in the issue you are addressing. Once you begin the journey for change, it is difficult to turn back. Using the power of one requires bravery, determination and the belief that you are right and the change you are introducing is for the greater good for yourself or others. The power of one must be respected, used with caution and only to make positive changes in your life or that of others. The power of one is a gift, use it rarely, use it wisely.
