Creating a Culture of Caring

Rana Awdish, MD FCCP FACP, Medical Director of Care Experience, Henry Ford Health System

Creating a Culture of Caring will describe Dr. Awdish’s personal transformation from critical care physician to critically ill patient and describe how the events surrounding her near death changed her understanding of the culture of medicine and lead her to alter the course of her institution. Focusing on Physician communication training, onboarding practices for all employees, and a culture of caring, she will illuminate the path towards creating a more resilient culture for everyone involved in health care.
