Morgan Wills, MD, MATS

Not all those in the CCHF movement are called to be medical professionals, but all of us will at some point be called to become patients. How do we do that faithfully? And how might we encourage our current or future patients to do so? Using stories from Scripture, his career serving immigrants and refugees at Siloam Health in Nashville, and his own recent personal experience as a wounded healer, Dr. Wills will invite workshop participants into a vision of what it means to follow Christ in the often confusing world of modern medicine. By situating illness and medicine within a larger story, we will consider how Jesus offers the illness experience as an opportunity to disciple all of us--on both sides of the white coat.

Working with the same patients and their families over many years serves to deepen trust, build empathy, and give perspective. In this session, I will share the ways that God has used consistency and meaningful presence has impacted patients’ complex medical diagnoses and their mental health. Sometimes longevity can be seen as a burden, but in this session, I will share three case examples where there was beauty in longevity. Co-Presenters: Kristin Martel, MD., Lauren Smith, FNP-C

The integration of trauma knowledge into practice is often a challenge in the human services field, and with the lack of integrated care options, there's even less models of this high quality care. This workshop will focus on how to provide trauma informed best practice in an integrated care setting on a non-profit budget. Creating a healing environment that is culturally sensitive will be addressed and tools provided to support more culturally relevant care. Co-Presenter Kyle Ferlic

Trauma Informed Care is a big buzz word these days with lots of theory and concepts being promoted and taught. The challenge is how to apply these concepts to everyday patient interactions, conversations, and policies. Our hope is to educate using concrete examples of trauma informed application to patient care in a pandemic and to healthcare in general.
