We’re surrounded by more health information than ever, yet many people still walk away from healthcare visits feeling confused and unheard. This disconnect, both in clinics and across communities, can harm physical, mental, and emotional health. Integrated care creates new opportunities to close this gap by making medical information easier to understand and more meaningful. In this engaging, case-based session, we’ll explore practical ways to communicate clearly, build trust, and connect the science of medicine with the stories of real people. You’ll leave with tools to make medical talk feel more human—for yourself, your patients, and your team.
