🌧☀️ New on HEART — Four Seasons in the Hospital

A winning entry from the CHEER™️ Healing Tales 2025 contest that truly stopped me in my tracks.

Jean captures the emotional weather of hospital corridors so poignantly — and what it means to stand in the rain with your patients, even while carrying your own storms.

Short, honest, and beautifully written. Worth three minutes of your day.

Hi everyone! 👋
 I wanted to share a beautiful new story published on Substack called "HEARTFELT." ✨
It was written by Geonelynn Gonzaga Turingan, a Medical Technologist II at CGH (Laboratory – Phlebotomy Service 🩸). It’s a very personal reflection about a sweet elderly patient who had been in the hospital for six months. 🏥

Despite his situation, his humor and indomitable spirit really touched her heart ❤️ and reminds us all why healthcare professionals do what they do. 💙

I’m also really excited to share that Geonelynn's piece won the CHEER™️ Short Story Contest for Healing Tales 2025! 🏆🎉

I’d love for you to read it when you have a spare moment 📖: https://heartbysdmhi.substack.com/p/heartfelt

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for our AI Governance Workshop!

We truly appreciate your active participation and thoughtful contributions throughout the session. It was inspiring to see the rich discussions on AI governance across the lifecycle — from research and development to silent and clinical evaluation — and the meaningful exchange of real-world use cases.
A special thank you to A/Prof Melissa McCradden for generously sharing her time and expertise. Her insights into ethical AI frameworks, algorithmic bias, and the responsible integration of AI in healthcare added tremendous value to the workshop and sparked important conversations on shaping ethical and robust AI governance.

We hope the session has equipped you with practical perspectives to navigate ethical considerations in both research and non-research AI projects, and to contribute to the evolving global landscape of AI governance and regulation.

Thank you once again for being part of this engaging and impactful session!
