Cedars CanSupport Lunch & Learn with Professor Jeremy Howick

It was standing room only at today’s Cedars CanSupport Lunch & Learn. We sincerely thank Professor Jeremy Howick for delivering an insightful and powerful presentation about the role that empathy plays in improving patient outcomes and satisfaction, the wellbeing of healthcare providers, patients and caregivers, and even healthcare spending!

There were over 70 people in attendance, including physicians, nurses, allied health professionals, Cedars CanSupport volunteers, patients, and caregivers – not to mention 30 guests online.
