Dr. Harvey Chochinov is teaching us how to go beyond providing healthcare to provide health-caring for the people we serve. Patients are people before they need to engage with the healthcare system. That personhood should be supported and validated with compassion and dignity. Dr. Chochinov has also led a large program of research on dignity within the healthcare setting, which includes the development and study of Dignity Therapy. As a Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Manitoba and a Senior Scientist at CancerCare Manitoba Research Institute, Dr. Chochinov reminds us all that “patients won’t care what you know until they know that you care.”
