The smallest moments in healthcare are often the ones people remember forever.

Geoffrey sits down with healthcare innovator and former MRI technologist Katherine Stokes to explore how comfort, creativity, and human connection can transform the experience of both patients and caregivers.

Katherine shares how her frontline experience inspired Spongies Comfort, why the people closest to healthcare's problems often have the best ideas for solving them, and how The Heart of Healthcare Innovation Award is giving everyday innovators the belief and financial support to bring those ideas forward. ❤️

From easing anxiety during an MRI to recognizing the employee who quietly changes a patient's day, Geoffrey and Katherine remind people-first leaders that meaningful innovation does not always begin with a massive breakthrough. Sometimes, it begins by noticing the gap, listening to the person experiencing it, and caring enough to fill it.

Toni shares how co-design creates ownership, turns best practices into best fits, and gives frontline teams the confidence to shape meaningful change.
