The Gold Foundation is teaming up with the Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University to support health teams in this pandemic with a series of webinars.
This Gold Human InSight Webinar, taped with a live audience on May 27, 2020, explored the many aspects clinicians bring with them into the healthcare environment (the many “whos” that we are). The session featured two representatives from the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science, Elizabeth Bojsza, Assistant Professor of Practice, and Susmita Pati, MD, MPH, Chief Medical Program Advisor, and two representatives from the Gold Foundation, Chief Operating Officer Elizabeth Cleek, PsyD, and Senior Director, Strategy and Business Development, Pia Pyne Miller, MPH.
In addition, Part I included a poem by Frankie Abralind, Executive Director of The Good Listening Project that shared why the Gold Foundation and the Alda Center are working together now to support healthcare professionals. The Good Listening Project promotes good listening in hospitals to improve healthcare outcomes. By providing modeling of and training in listening we build listening cultures that support patient safety, nursing resilience, provider well-being and the humanization of healthcare. Poets from The Good Listening Project wrote custom poems for attendees at the 2019 Gold Humanism Summit.
