"We know that in healthcare, by definition, we're dealing with people who are suffering... When people feel like they've received compassionate care, in many, many ways, there are better outcomes." Thanks to UCSD's REIMAGINE Center for the great conversation. Listen here: ow.ly/qMfN50ZBxjZ

"True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.” Dr. King's words help illustrate that compassion is not just about individual growth; it's about collective transformation.
