Failed Safety Methods Can Feel Defeating

As healthcare quality leaders, you strive for improved patient safety outcomes. Yet despite your dedication, traditional methods continue to fail in reducing poor patient outcomes, leaving you feeling helpless and defeated.

Our Mission

To end suffering caused by healthcare delivery by empowering organizations with proactive safety solutions that restore integrity to the profession.

Founded with Purpose

Established in 2015 through Mayo Clinic Ventures by Dr. Jeanne M. Huddleston and Lacey A. Hart, HB Healthcare Safety is proud to be a Social Benefit Corporation. This structure reflects our commitment to prioritize social impact alongside business success measuring our value not just in revenue, but in lives saved and systems improved.

Because We’ve Been There

We’ve cared for many patients and felt the anguish of losing someone when we knew better processes could have saved them. That’s why we created a solution—because we know change is possible, and lives depend on it.

Our Vision

To revolutionize healthcare safety by identifying and fixing broken processes before they harm patients, making preventable deaths and injuries a thing of the past.

A Proven Path Forward

Our peer-reviewed methods, developed at Mayo Clinic, are trusted by facilities from the VA (Veterans Affairs) to community hospitals across the world. We partner with you to identify problems and implement lasting solutions that transform healthcare delivery.
