In this episode Liz and Jesse are joined by Rebecca Boparai to learn from her experience of being on the “other side” of healthcare. Rebecca works a Nurse Practitioner in Diabetes, but her story is about the impact that experiencing the healthcare system as a partner who lost her husband to cancer has shaped her professionally and personally. We were so pleased to provide a place for Rebecca to chare this wisdom forged through such a heavy personal experience.

Rebecca’s Five Things:

1. The patient is a person first.
2. Slow down and look for the small moments – they can have huge impact.
3. Empathy is different from sympathy.
4. Family, friends and community are incredibly important in this journey.
5. What will be our legacy?
