In this second episode of a three-part series on moral injury, host Heather Farley, MD, MHCDS sits down with Jason Lesandrini PhD, FACHE, LPEC, HEC-C, Assistant Vice President for Ethics, Advance Care Planning and Spiritual Health at Wellstar Health System in Georgia, to talk about how moral injury uniquely affects health care leaders who are often caught between organizational demands and their teams and are expected to execute decisions they privately question. Lesandrini distinguishes between decisions leaders merely disagree with and those that truly violate their values while sharing practical ways leaders can name moral distress early, build ethical workplace cultures, and avoid losing themselves in the process.
