The Care You Give – RN APRN
In Dr. Barber’s most notable speech, “The Care You Give,” she discusses her story and journey to becoming the first soldier to win the prestigious title of Miss USA and how during her reign, the passing of her mother left her in a deep depression and feeling completely lost. Dr. Barber describes how changing her mindset and balancing her adversity with giving back to others as a human rights activist turned her life’s hurdles into stepping stones. She highlights the love and care the hospice nurses provided to her late mother during her mother’s last chapter of life and the significant contributions of healthcare providers to people in their most vulnerable moments. Dr. Barber discusses strategies and tips she uses as the Vice-Chair of Service Women’s Action Network, a non-profit dedicated to preventing military sexual assault and the hurdles she faces when assisting victims experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder. The strategies she will share are specifically intended to help medical professionals nurture themselves while working in a field that requires them to care for others. Dr. Barber’s compelling story about life and loss leaves audiences feeling empowered, inspired, and strengthened.
