A little bit about Jean-Arellia Tolentino, Ph.D.- “I am: a psychologist, a researcher, a community organizer, an educator, a Filipina American, a daughter/mother/sis/partner, and the list may go on. I share this, because often therapists don’t, and to note that my work as a therapist has been cultivated from a myriad of paths taken to get through this thing called “life”. As such, I know that one’s life path can change, and depending on your context, can feel like you’re taking the same path yet have a vastly different journey and destination.” Join us at the Bukambibig Symposium (Word of Mouth) for a thought-provoking panel titled “Finding, Creating, and Cultivating Kapwa,” where we explore the power of identity, culture, community, and healing from trauma. This panel will feature influential leaders from diverse sectors, including nonprofit, healthcare, government, and technology, each bringing unique perspectives on what it means to serve and thrive in community. This conversation is more than a panel—it’s a space to reflect on how community can be a source of healing and strength. ❤️ Let’s come together to explore Kapwa and heal through community.

Reflecting on Service and Sacrifice This Memorial Day 🇺🇸 As we approach Memorial Day, it's a time not just for barbecues and the unofficial start of summer, but more importantly, a day to honor and remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom 🕊️. For professionals like those in the life sciences and healthcare industry, this day resonates deeply. It’s a reminder of the parallels between the commitments made by our armed forces and our own commitments to service and excellence in our field.

This Memorial Day, let us pause to acknowledge the sacrifices that enable us to live in freedom and to pursue advancements in medical science and healthcare 🌟. Let’s also reflect on how we, as part of this industry, can honor their legacy through our commitment to improving patient outcomes and upholding the highest standards of integrity and quality in our work.

I am enjoying the habit of boosting examples of leadership in action. Perhaps I should use it as a feature in the upcoming newsletter- Words can influence minds but actions build the future. Cheers to a brighter future in cancer care. Breaking News! Great news for Irvine & Santa Ana CA residents and oncology professionals. A new facility is coming to the southern CA region, bringing care options closer to home. Residents, healthcare leaders, and market stats all suggest that this is exactly what the area needs. For those living in the area, this means better options for care nearer to you, without having to drive over an hour for the type of doctor you need. Bringing top-notch care options closer to residents is critical to access and changes how many will experience treatment in the area. It means less cost to patients who travel out of town and pay for overnight stays. It means actually getting the care you deserve for those who are not able to overcome geographical and financial barriers to care in their region. For those working in rad-onc or planning to, and are from the area, you are getting a brand new facility as an option for your career. You can reconsider having to move away from your relatives to get the best job in your field. A trusted name and the best minds in the field are now in your backyard. This will drive oncology professionals to the region for better cost of living, housing, and research opportunities. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing care options closer to the southern CA region in Irvine. Let's celebrate better options for care and career opportunities for oncology workers. #Irvine #SantaAna #healthcare #oncology #careeropportunities #newfacility #healthcaretechnicalstaffing

UHN in Toronto moved from 4th to 3rd best hospital in the world, just behind #Mayoclinic and #clevelandclinic. What an amazing achievement… There are many insights that come to mind at the moment, but would like to share just one, which fills me with hope: I’ve been lucky enough to have worked for almost 10 years at 2 of the top 3 hospitals in the world (Mayo and UHN). Completely different organizations, mindset, processes, social/national circumstances, etc. Just completely different in almost any way. But both capable of achieving excellence at the highest level. Never think excellence is impossible! Let’s all do our best to contribute to the achievement of the highest possible level of excellence in our own environment! #medicine #medicina #excellence #excelencia #achievements #innovation #inovação #hardwork #team #trabalhoemequipe #esforço

Bioethics services are often perceived as not being fit-for-purpose to deal with contemporary and often time-sensitive issues. In our recent paper from our European Research Council (ERC) funded TechChild project, we highlight the need for time-sensitive, flexible bioethics services, with increased inclusion of palliative care input as early as possible to support children and their families.

🎩 He’s worn so many hats since making his way to Wellvana in 2021. Here’s a new one for Readus Smith — President for National Partnerships U.S.  No one is better suited to lead Wellvana’s new venture, the Wellvana Interfaith Network, bringing the benefits of value-based care to faith communities, than Readus.  If you’ve ever been in a meeting with Readus, you know he leads with his heart. He’s a force of nature while being a friend to all.  🩺 An experienced healthcare executive and entrepreneur with a passion for bringing world-class care to underserved communities.  💯 A relentless optimist who won’t rest in pursuit of a worthy goal.  🫵 A charismatic leader who delivers on the hype. While value-based care is his vocation, his calling is as a lay leader in the Church of God in Christ. He serves as the Pentecostal denomination’s Secretary General of Health and Business. The appointment means he oversees the wellbeing of millions who are members of local congregations in all 50 states. And now his vocation and calling will come together.  He’s ideally suited to help the 5,000 doctors who are COGIC members - and thousands more clinicians in other faith communities - to transition from volume-based fee-for-service to patient-centered value-based care and bring new benefits to their communities.  It’s a novel partnership, but we hope it is the first of many as we spread the gospel about the Wellvana Interfaith Network.  (More details in comments). Readus is leading a new way to Wellvana through our strong communities of faith. 

Honoring Sacrifice, Advancing Health: A Shared Mission This Memorial Day Today, on Memorial Day, we remember the unwavering courage of fallen heroes who secured our freedoms. Their dedication inspires us to strive for a better world – a world where advancements in healthcare empower healthier lives.

Contract Research Organizations (CROs) and Clinical Research Sites (CRSs) stand on the front lines, conducting critical studies that unlock life-saving treatments. This Memorial Day, let's also honor the heroes within our own field. The dedicated researchers, coordinators, and staff who tirelessly push the boundaries of medical knowledge. Their unwavering commitment paves the way for a future where illness loses its grip. Are you a CRO or CRS seeking to make a tangible impact? Let's connect with Research Mate Inc and explore how we can join forces to translate groundbreaking research into real-world applications. #MemorialDay #HealthcareHeroes #ClinicalResearch #CROCollaboration #UnitedStates #USA #clinicaltrials #ResearchMate

Why should we celebrate the month of JUNE?! Numerous “International days” activities in the field of healthcare were set to serve a noble objectives by which relevant healthcare communities commemorate & raise “BIOLOGICAL” diseases awareness among patients, caregivers, and society at large… In our efforts to raise disease awareness, it's essential to realise that other SOCIAL and MORAL diseases have more significant & profound impact on individuals and communities which require immediate & comprehensive intervention. Addressing these societal ailments alongside biological diseases, we can create a more inclusive and compassionate world, promoting holistic well-being for all. For this month; we all need to prioritize our families and loved ones, we must engage in proactive actions, including education, support networks, and advocacy efforts, recognizing them as our most valuable assets. Parents’ role is crucial to fend against such reprehensible obscenity, a crime that violates human nature, destroys moral values, and violates the right of humanity to preserve its human race…

100 years of research. 100 years of impact. 100 years of saving lives. See you March 22nd as we come together in Ocala to mark this milestone. https://lnkd.in/guHEVmiE
