In a moment of genuine care, you can have a lifetime of positive impact.

Most (hopefully all) medical professionals HAVE empathy, but all of them don't EXPRESS empathy. Why? The reason I've heard most often is lack of time. The misperception is that expressing empathy takes too much time. Empathy expression is simply about making others around you feel better. How long does that take? It could be as short as a warm greeting with eye contact! In our  presentations and workshops, I share the ups and downs of my complicated medical journey, and provide practical tips on forging immediate connections with patients. My goal is to show you how in a moment of genuine care, you can have a lifetime of positive impact.

You are all part of the patient experience.

Behind the Scenes, Beyond the Instruments: The Power of Empathy in Hospitals Every member of a hospital's staff has an effect on the patient experience. Professionals working behind the scenes are a core part of the culture that defines patient care. Their blend of precision, empathy, and communication reinforces a system where patients feel safe, respected, and well cared for—even if they never see the hands that made it possible. This workshop encourages professionals to reflect not only on the technical side of their work but also on the human impact it carries.
