Compassion, Courage, Consolation: Voices for St Vincent’s during COVID-19

In this Podcast we’re talking to people who love St Vincent’s, love our staff, and love the service we provide in health and aged care. Some of our guests will be staff, some will be leaders, some will be members of the community – and we’ll even have a few Sisters of Charity join us – that great group of vowed religious women who started St Vincent’s nearly 160 years ago.  Our health and aged care ministries, and those who serve within them, are facing an extraordinary moment in human history – the COVID-19 pandemic. This series has a simple purpose in this context: to console you, our staff, who serve in our organisation, through taking some time to pause and reflect, to bolster your courage, and together to cultivate the compassion we need for each other and those we serve at this time.  And, whilst prepared for St Vincent’s, we’re sharing this series with anyone who might find it helpful. If you’re joining us from outside of our services, consider yourself part of the family – you are very welcome indeed.  The series is hosted by Dr Dan Fleming, Group Manager - Ethics and Formation at St Vincent's Health Australia. For more information about St Vincent’s, visit www.svha.org.au Music credits Intro Bittersweet by Kevin MacLeod  Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3440-bittersweet   License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/   OutroTouching Moments One - Pulse by Kevin MacLeod  Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4537-touching-moments-one---pulse  License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
