What Really Matters: A Conversation With Dr. Karen Wyatt, Episode 064

Dr. Karen Wyatt puts her heart into the work she does as a hospice physician. According to her website, Dr. Wyatt is a “family physician who has spent her 25 year medical career working with patients in challenging settings, such as hospices, nursing homes and indigent clinics. She has founded a free medical clinic in a homeless shelter, accompanied three medical mission teams to Honduras, and led a non-profit clinic for the uninsured in its growth from a 4-hour per week all-volunteer operation to a full-time, full-service medical center. 

Motivated by her compassionate heart she has put her spiritual beliefs into action by being of service to others in need and by developing Creative Healing LLC an initiative to integrate spirituality into traditional medical practice.  She has twice testified at Senate briefings on the cutting edge model of integrated medical care, combining physical and behavioral health, which she helped create and implement in her clinic for the uninsured.” Through multiple projects that include her End of Life University podcast and her book 7 Lessons for the Living from the Dying: How to Nurture What Really Matters, Karen shares the wisdom she’s acquired through her work.  You can find all of Dr. Waytt’s projects on eoluniversity.com.  You can connect to more resources and information about hospice care at theheartofhospice.com.  Connect with Jerry or Helen by sending an email to [email protected].  We’d love to hear from you.  You are The Heart of Hospice!
