Belonging to One Another in a Time of Rupture…: January 11, 2022
Tuesday, January 11, 2022 at 7-8:30 pm | Virtual session on Zoom | Facilitated by Dr. Andi Chatburn
A Conversation with Andi Chatburn, DO, MA, HEC-C,
Regional Director for Ethics, Providence Health, Washington Montana Region.
Dr Chatburn will share personal experiences bearing witness to conflict from the bedside to the boardroom and beyond, working as a clinical bioethicist during the global COVID pandemic and ongoing domestic political turmoil. Acute Care hospitals, particularly intensive care units, represent a microcosm of how individuals and communities cope and engage in interpersonal relationships when the stakes are high and emotions run strong. We will explore together the effect they’ve had on the environment of care in hospitals, and participants will reflect in small groups on their own experiences. For many, the experiences of conflict lead to a hunger for what theologian, attorney, and civil rights activist Valarie Kaur calls Revolutionary Love. Chatburn will introduce the Revolutionary Love compass, used as an educational tool in hospitals through the ethics curriculum, as a tool for personal, communal, and systems transformation.
