Supporting the Healers: How Support and Care for Nurses Changes Patient Outcomes
What happens when healthcare providers are truly supported—and how does that ripple out to patient care?
In this powerful and deeply human conversation, I’m joined by three heart failure nurses from Christ Hospital Health Network who are quietly transforming what compassionate, trauma-informed care can look like from the inside of the system.
Together, we talk about:
Why medical trauma can occur even when “everything goes right”
How chronic illness and hospitalization impact both patients and providers.
The importance of peer support—for patients and clinicians
What patients are really processing after they go home
Why being seen, believed, and supported by medical staff matters so deeply
How systems that care for their staff create better outcomes for everyone
These nurses also share how they run a heart failure support group that welcomes both inpatients and community members—creating connection, hope, and healing during some of the hardest moments of life. We explore grief, nervous system overwhelm, and the simple yet powerful practices that help people feel safer in medical spaces.
This episode is especially meaningful to me as I continue expanding my work supporting medical providers, knowing that when clinicians are resourced, regulated, and supported, patients feel it.
Whether you’re:
A medical professional navigating burnout or moral injury
A patient or caregiver recovering from a traumatic medical experience
Or part of a healthcare system looking to do better
To connect with the Christ Hospital Heart Failure Support Group you can call the Heartlink Line at 513-585-0378
or email Pam at [email protected]
If you are looking for a peer support group for medical trauma, please join us in the Befriend Your Body Community where you can feel seen and validated with others who "get it".
