Respect, Trust & the Human Side of Health Care: A Conversation with Beverly Rogers
What if the most important part of health care isn’t found in a lab or a chart—but in the connection between people? In this heartfelt episode, Beverly Rogers—a vibrant 80-year-old breast cancer survivor, caregiver, patient advocate, and entrepreneur—shares how her lived experiences have shaped her belief in the power of human connection within the health care system.
Beverly opens up about the real conversations she’s had with her provider, offering tangible examples of how mutual respect, empathy, and active listening created a foundation for trust—and ultimately, better care.

Whether you’re a provider, caregiver, or patient yourself, Beverly’s insights remind us that effective communication isn’t just a skill—it’s a lifeline. Tune in to hear how we can all do better at building relationships that honor the full humanity of the people at the center of care.
