Why Compassion is Needed Now with Kathleen Lynam, RN, MPA
from Healthcare Experience Matters · host Healthcare Experience Foundation
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines compassion as “a sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it." In other words, compassion is about recognizing that someone is suffering and trying to help them. We all have our own definition of compassion and we all know what it means to us as individuals, but it is abundantly clear based on our chat with today’s podcast guest: compassion is needed now. Compassion is especially important to those that work in healthcare. In this week’s newest episode of the Healthcare Experience Matters Podcast, Kathleen Lynam, RN, MPA, joins us to chat all things compassion. Kathleen is an Executive Coach and Senior Advisor with the Healthcare Experience Foundation (HXF). She brings decades of nursing leadership experience to the conversation.
