New Podcast Episode (Ep. 3) – Programs & Impact: How Coordinated Care Changes Lives

Now live on Spotify 🎧

In this third episode of the Heart of Healthcare mini-series, Prof. Dr. Jan Bonhoeffer and Andrea Gardner explore how coordinated, integrated care can transform the experience of families navigating complex health challenges.

Drawing on early insights from the KIDZ program (Koordinierte integrierte Diagnostik und Versorgung zu Hause für Kinder, Jugendliche und ihre Familien im Kanton Basel-Stadt), they discuss:

👉 how medical, psychological, and social support can come together to create continuity, trust, and measurable impact
👉 what happens when teams collaborate closely, when families are guided instead of left alone, and when care meets people in the reality of their lives — often in their own homes
👉 why research, professional coordination, and heart-based presence belong together
👉 how integrative care models can reduce strain on families, strengthen resilience, and create a more human, effective form of healthcare

From the beginning, Youkidoc was designed to be more than a clinic — it was meant to be a place where medicine becomes conversation and healing becomes relationship.

The Heart-Based Center carries the same relational philosophy into adult care.

As Thanksgiving approaches on November 27, it’s a special moment to pause, reflect, and give thanks. At Heart-Based Medicine, we are a growing team full of dedication, energy, and purpose — and it’s clear that our strength comes from how we come together to meet challenges and pursue our vision of promoting health, connection, and well-being.

This season reminds us to appreciate not only what we have achieved but also the journey ahead. While we acknowledge the hardships many face around the world — from access to basic healthcare to food and shelter — we remain inspired by the collective impact of our work and the community we are building together.

Thank you to everyone who supports, collaborates, and contributes to our mission. Your spirit and commitment make this journey meaningful, and we are grateful to share it with you.

From all of us at Heart-Based Medicine, wishing you a thoughtful, peaceful, and gratitude-filled Thanksgiving.

The moment you stop trying to be liked is the moment you start to feel free.

We’re trained to believe that acceptance comes from fitting in.
But real belonging only begins when we unmask, unlearn, and return to our true selves.

The Courage to Be Unpopular is an invitation to do exactly that — to choose honesty over approval, inner truth over outer polish, and gentle self-loyalty over the old habit of shrinking.

If you’re in a season of shedding, shifting, or strengthening your boundaries, this one’s for you.

Every movement begins with a question.
For us, it was this: How can we bring love back into medicine?

In uncertain times, it’s tempting to reach for stability outside ourselves — the expert, the leader, the algorithm.

But real steadiness begins within.🫶

Self-trust is the quiet confidence that guides you when external signals conflict. It regulates your nervous system, clarifies your choices, and lets you lead with calm integrity.

In his latest Psychology Today article, “Self-Trust Is the New Self-Care,” our founder Jan Bonhoeffer explores how to build inner sovereignty — especially when the world feels like shifting sand.

Explore Prof. Bonhoeffer’s reflections and share: what helps you stay grounded in your leadership when challenges arise? 👉 https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/heart-of-healthcare/202510/self-trust-is-the-new-self-care

In uncertain times, the most reliable anchor isn’t out there; it’s within. Reclaim your inner throne to restore clarity, calm, and courage.
