Leslie Kuhnel - Part I - Ethical Decision Making in Healthcare and Leadership

In this week’s episode of the Growth Edge podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Leslie Kuhnel, Division Vice President of Ethics for CHI Health / CommonSpirit Health. Leslie is a long time friend and colleague, who stewards the important work of collaborating with clinicians and leaders to guide ethical decision making. We discuss: 

 - complexities of healthcare and humanity,

 - nurturing trust, 

 - providing a safe space for patients, families, providers, and leaders to grapple with tough questions,

 - caring for the needs of the most vulnerable,

 - addressing ethical dilemmas,

 - navigating uncertainty,

 - the importance of active listening and empathy,
