Nursing as a Catholic Vocation: Hospice, COVID, and Caring for Souls with Elizabeth Kauffeld

Medicine today often prioritizes efficiency, profits, and policies, but Catholic healthcare was founded on a very different mission: to continue the healing ministry of Jesus Christ.

Gomer and Dave speak with Ryan Conklin of CHRISTUS Health about what makes Catholic healthcare unique, why healing is more than curing, and how Catholic hospitals can remain faithful to their mission in an increasingly secular world. If you've ever wondered what truly sets Catholic healthcare apart, this episode is for you.

The Mission Behind Catholic Healthcare

What is medicine really for?

In this solo episode, Gomer explores the purpose of medicine through the lens of Scripture, philosophy, and the Catholic faith. Drawing from Sirach, Plato, St. Thomas Aquinas, Edmund Pellegrino, and the healing ministry of Jesus, he argues that today's healthcare crisis is ultimately a crisis of understanding what it means to be human.
