Hey, here’s a forum on which you can share some of the “heart-warming” stories of the hospital; hey, here’s a forum on which you can discuss lifestyles and stories from the gleanings of conversations with employees; hey, here’s a forum on which you can address some new ideas that are cropping up in medicine – such as the fact that according to US News &World Report, the 18 top US hospitals are investigating complementary and alternative medicines; hey, here’s a forum on which you can chat about a whole lot of topics that could help people feel a community bond to the hospital, a sense of knowing that these people care, that they are human themselves and not just M.D.’s who did okay on the MCAT and passed nursing boards.

Operating on hearts is important, but so is reaching out to the heart of the community, to those people who may spend some of their most intimate moments with you. So make yourself comfortable, think of the people out there – of how a person’s whole world can be flooded with the joy of a healthy new child, the sadness of losing a loved one or the anxiety of the unknown – and share with them. Share with us.
