Our Values Series "Empathy"

About this episode

The episode explores the importance of empathy in patient care and how to manage compassion fatigue in healthcare.

Jamie Preston continues the Your Health Values Series with the Experience Team — Rebecca, Jennifer, Whitney, and Carlos — unpacking what empathy actually looks like in the most pressured, sacred moments of patient care. You'll walk away understanding why empathy isn't a soft skill but a clinical one, why the 15-second pause to acknowledge someone's pain is non-negotiable, and how to protect yourself from the compassion fatigue that quietly erodes the very thing that drew you to healthcare in the first place.
