Palliative Arts
Thrive By Arts
As palliative care specialists – with our emphasis on the person instead of just the disease, on the holistic picture instead of just the technical details – we can help keep medicine grounded in the timeless and truly important. Integrating the arts – stories, music, literature, and more – in everything we do is an engaging and effective way to do this. We prioritize cultivating a culture of thriving for our team members. Together, we have crafted and integrated a program we call Thrive by Design, which addresses wellness on multiple levels: systems, team, and personal.
Narrative Pieces by Our Team
We have found that reflective writing is an important way for us to process the work we do, and we take joy in sharing our stories with others. Here are a few recent examples:
Exercising for Wellness During the Pandemic
Insights from “Dying in the Neurological ICU”
Helping Patients Share Disappointing Diagnoses With Loved Ones
Thank you so much for following me during my hospitalization. You are so down to earth and easy to relate to. We need more doctors like you. God bless you.
Thank you so much Pastor for your visits, encouragement, scripture, and stories. I promise to keep in touch. You’re my forever friend. I am glad the Lord put you in my life. Thank you.
