Do You Realize the Trauma You Are Asking Your Staff to Endure?

Did you ever ask yourself what type of person becomes a healthcare worker? 
What type of person has the capacity and ability to take care of sick people?

This week, Angel and Dr. E explore exactly how special our healthcare team is and how 
we need to identify and recognize the amount of trauma that 
our coworkers and friends have to endure on behalf of our Survivor/Thrivers; 
and how this bond of trauma also connects us to our patients!

For Whom The Bell Tolls
The Bell Tolls For Thee

As Cancer Providers, we labor tirelessly in supporting our survivors and thrivers, both through our treatments and our advocacy.

In this advocacy, we offer hope, confidence, and peace.

But how legitimate are our words when we haven’t had to experience the horror of cancer personally?

This week, Angel and Dr E welcome friend and colleague David Garcia, who had to recently take a walk in the shoes of our patients with his cancer diagnosis. Please join us as we honor our Survivor/Thriver/Providers!
