Dr. Chris Endfinger, with nearly three decades in emergency medicine, emphasizes that healing transcends physical care. His background—rooted in a family valuing compassion and discipline—and experiences in the ER shaped his understanding of a deeper connection with patients. He believes in the importance of being present in patient interactions, especially during their most distressing times. Throughout his career, he witnessed not only advancements in medical technology but also an increase in mental health issues among patients, highlighting the evolving challenges in emergency care.
"I've come to realize that healing isn't just about fixing bodies. It's about being present with people when they're scared, hurting, or confused," Chris says.
"I didn't plan to end up in emergency medicine, but once I was there, I knew it was the right fit. You don't know what's coming through the door next. It forces you to stay sharp."
