What does it take to provide care that’s not only high-quality, but deeply compassionate? In this episode, we hear from Emily Brown, whose passion for equitable, patient-centered care was sparked by a personal experience — watching a loved one struggle to navigate a complex healthcare system after being diagnosed with a serious illness.
Emily shares how that experience lit a fire in her that has guided her ever since. For the past eight years, she’s brought that dedication to her work in professional caregiving roles across the continuum of care — from the Program for the All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) to the Williamsburg Convalescent Center and now at Patient Advocate Foundation.
Throughout her journey, caregiving hasn’t just been a job — it’s been a calling. Emily opens up about the mindset she’s developed, the lessons she’s learned, and how she shows up every day with empathy, patience, and purpose. Whether you're in healthcare, caregiving, or simply passionate about equity and compassion in medicine, Emily’s story is one you won’t want to miss.
