WE WILL CHANGE MORAL INJURY
by creating sustainable work communities and vibrant, restorative cultures where professionals thrive.
OUR OATH IS NOT NEGOTIABLE.
Moral injury describes the plight of tough, resourceful, and resilient clinicians who feel trapped between the patient-first values of their Hippocratic oath and the business imperatives of a broken healthcare system.
The experience of moral injury is distinct from other forms of occupational distress, including burnout.
And it demands its own solutions.
We need better healthcare. It’s time to act.
“Only through dialogue, mutual respect, and a collective commitment to ethical care can we lay the foundation for health care systems that are resilient, equitable, and truly morally centered.”
If I Betray These Words profiles clinicians across the country who are tough, resourceful, and resilient, but feel trapped between the patient-first values of their Hippocratic oath and the business imperatives of a broken healthcare system.
