Jason Filippini-Moffitt Chaplain - The Intimate Stranger

In this heartfelt episode of PEPtalks, we sit down with Chaplain Jason Filippini from Moffitt Cancer Center to explore what it truly means to bring hope, humanity, and presence into the most difficult moments of a patient’s journey. With over eight years of experience serving in Moffitt’s ICU and PCU, Jason shares powerful stories of compassion—moments where “healing” takes on a deeper meaning beyond physical cure. From advocating for a dying young patient to receive her college diploma, to finding sacredness in something as simple as a cold Pepsi or a final walk in the sunshine, Jason reminds us that small acts of listening can change everything. Through his humility, humor, and honesty, we’re invited to see healthcare as more than a profession—it’s a ministry of presence, empathy, and intentional care.
