Virtual Humanist Program: AHA Speaking of Humanism - Humanism in Healthcare

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event.

This month we will be viewing a previously recorded talk from the AHA titled "Humanism in Healthcare"

Hear how humanists provide care with empathy and compassion while promoting science and reason, the struggles of working in religious institutions like hospitals and prisons, and the importance for humanists in the healthcare field to meet together and organize.

The event will include a discussion among Ovais Khalil, a cardiac trauma ICU nurse; his wife Megan, a mental health counselor who has worked in prisons; Jonathan Bailey, an LPN with the United States Army; and Kurt Robicheaux, lead certified ophthalmic technician at an ophthalmology referral center. They will discuss the importance of humanism in the healthcare field and introduce Healthcare Humanists.
