AWAKENING VIRTUES IN HEALTH CARE
Rooted in the affirming power of values and virtues in elevating health care, together. Informed by research and evidence-based practices, our services earn the trust of executives, physicians, nurses, philanthropy leaders and allies by demonstrating fidelity to the sciences documented in medical and professional journals.
The transformational, evidence-based power of gratitude has garnered significant attention from health care leaders over the last decade. Longitudinal research from neuroscience and psychology strongly affirms gratitude has a profound, uplifting effect that
increases joy in work, reduces emotional exhaustion and mitigates burnout
for health care executives, clinicians and philanthropy teams.
The Gratitude Edge
Strengthening Philanthropic Success Through the Well-Being of Leaders and Staff
Philanthropy, rooted in a commitment to improving lives, has advanced awareness of gratitude’s impact on patients, family members and caregivers. However, philanthropy professionals often overlook their own complex challenges, intensified by recent economic, social and institutional shifts. Given their dedication and essential role, it’s also important to prioritize the health and well-being of philanthropy leaders and teams to ensure their continued ability to effectively serve the common good.
