It is a wonderful intersection of faith and health.”

Our webinar, to our knowledge, is the first to present this proven practice expanded in a cross-cultural way to all faiths beyond its Christian roots,” said Nancy Combs, chair of the Health and Healthcare Committee of the InterFaith Leadership Council of Metropolitan Detroit and director of community health integration at Henry Ford Health System.

The Panelists

“ To educate the mind is a smart thing but to  educate the heart is a beautiful thing. Nurses are in the unique position of providing care for the  whole person but that requires that we enrich our whole person first. Each of us is a culture on to ourselves. We are not checkboxes or paper assessments. We need love, hope, care and competence. We all deserve this. We must all provide this. “ Najah Bazzy RN. Transcultural Nurse. Founder/CEO Zaman International.
