In this episode, we’re joined by two leaders from AdventHealth who have spent decades thinking deeply about the well-being of healthcare professionals: Dr. Ted Hamilton, family physician, longtime mission executive, and national voice on clinician well-being; and Dr. Carla Park, Vice President of Whole-Person Care, Education & Integration. Together, they led a new peer-reviewed study of CMDA members published in the journal, Religions 2025, that revealed something striking: Christian healthcare professionals reported significantly lower burnout than the broader healthcare population, and three factors tended to rise and fall together in those who were thriving: belonging, calling, and virtue. Through practical insights and personal stories, Drs. Hamilton and Park highlight how faith not only sustains healthcare professionals but also equips them to lead and care more deeply for their patients, colleagues, and themselves.
