Healthcare for Humans: What If Your Patient's Faith Is Their Best "Medicine"? Dr. Cat Delostrinos

Episode 74 What If Your Patient's Faith Is Their Best "Medicine"?
ft. Dr. Cat Delostrinos On this episode host Raj Sundar explores
the deeply personal and often overlooked connection between
spirituality and health, especially within immigrant and refugee
communities. Dr. Cat Delestrinos, a pediatrician and Filipino
immigrant, shares moving stories from her own life and medical
practice—particularly her son’s health journey—to illustrate how
faith and spiritual practices can play a vital role in resilience,
healing, and coping with fear. They discuss practical ways
clinicians can better recognize and respect patients’ spiritual
beliefs, how to open conversations about faith without imposing
personal beliefs, and why understanding the spiritual dimension is
critical for meaningful, holistic care. Find all of our network
