Join us in the miniVHAN as we welcome Cecelia Theobald, MD, Chief of Staff for Corporate Clinical Affairs at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Dr. Theobald, an internist, is also the attending physician at the student-run Shade Tree Clinic, which provides free health care to uninsured individuals. She has witnessed patients taking a more active role in their care—and explains why that’s such a positive development for providers and health care as a whole.

Dr. Theobald underscores the importance of trust and clear communication within patient care teams, highlighting how that strong foundation can lead patients toward more solid decision-making. Tune in to learn how you can best serve patients as they navigate complex medical information, build relationships with their health care providers and take charge of their own health.
