Voices of Empathy is on a mission to make “compassion and empathy” synonymous with the patient experience. After a less than perfect exchange with a physician following a brain cancer diagnosis, Cory Brown decided being a part of the solution was the only option. After a deep dive, Cory discovered evidence-based research demonstrating that when physicians practiced with empathy, it statistically led to better patient outcomes. Voices of Empathy tells the stories of those impacted, from the perspectives of patients, doctors, caregivers, scholars, and more.

Practice Makes Better: Jenn Stefanik NP
We have a powerful episode for you this Sunday morning. On today’s episode we hear from Jenn Stefanik NP, who we had the privilege of working with throughout Dad’s treatment at Dana Farber.

Throughout the episode we learn how she and her team process bad days, her approach to delivering bad news, and how she makes sense of the world after all she’s moved through and her life as a nurse practitioner in oncology.
