Read "8 Questions with... Allison Breininger" and learn about the founder of The Negative Space for caregivers
|
|
“8 Questions with …” is a new Gold Foundation series spotlighting members of the Gold community – doctors, nurses, healthcare professionals of all kinds, students, corporate and hospital leaders, patients, family members, Trustees, staff members, and supporters.
We are delighted to introduce you to Allison Breininger, who has been a caregiver for her husband since he was diagnosed with Fanconi Anemia more than a decade ago. She has been by his side through a bone marrow transplant and multiple cancers and has experienced firsthand that caregivers are in the negative space: vital yet overlooked and unsupported. Fueled by what she has seen, Allison founded the nonprofit The Negative Space as a way to use her experience and skills to change the way caregivers are seen and supported. Here's her answer to the first of the 8 Gold questions:
How would you explain humanism in healthcare to a kid?
"Lots of doctors pick a certain part of the body that they are really interested in and become specialists in that, like an eye doctor or a heart doctor or a dentist. But no matter what body part they focus on, it’s always important that they don’t just pay attention to that one part, but that they see the person as a whole human being – a person with not only lots of body parts, but also with feelings and thoughts and opinions – and that they see, pay attention to, and care for every part of each human, every time they see them."

Do you have your GHHS mug? Join the GHHS 20th Anniversary Campaign and help us raise $20,000 |
|
The Gold Humanism Honor Society began in 2002 with chapters at 3 medical schools. Many people were skeptical. An honor society that recognizes compassion and human connection, not grades and test scores? Over the years, GHHS helped schools shift to recognizing how vital these skills are. Today, there are 180+ chapters and 45,000+ members who are true leaders of humanism.
We are hoping to raise $20,000 or more for the GHHS 20th Anniversary Campaign. Any amount is appreciated. Consider giving $20 to mark the 20 years, or donate $200, and we will send you a GHHS 20th Anniversary mug with your name on it. Join the campaign by giving here. Thank you!

"I think all of us are looking around and thinking about the ways that we treat one another, trying to enhance professionalism, anti-racism, compassion in our workplaces. Having a group that's really focused on caring and on humanism is a tremendous way to do that visibly." - Dr. Jonathan Amiel, GHHS member
