As a healthcare worker, you devote your life to the service of others—and it’s hard. You’ve likely asked yourself more than once: Is this worth it? Am I really making an impact? Does what I do truly matter?

In our opening keynote, Christy Chermak, Executive Director of Watermark Health, invites you to explore these questions through the redemptive lens of the biblical story of Ruth. Hear how your unique role in healthcare can be part of a greater story—one of purpose, restoration, and lasting impact.

Healthcare work is heavy. Don’t ignore the warning signs—exhaustion, short tempers, spiritual dryness. These are signals, not failures. Let people in. Let God care for you too.

As Pastor Walker reminds us: you’re not just a nurse, doctor, tech, or admin. You’re a carrier of God’s comfort and healing. Stay rooted in your purpose. Stay faithful. You are seen, known, and not alone.

Whether you are a nurse, doctor, dentist, or any healthcare professional, this talk is for you.

In healthcare, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by protocols and efficiency demands. Yet, Jesus, the ultimate healer, prioritized people over processes. He met needs with compassion, urgency, and holistic care. This session invites you to follow His example, shifting from task-driven to people-centered care. Reclaim the heart of your calling and learn to prioritize patients—even amid paperwork, packed waiting rooms, and policies.
