My Ecochallenge Resilience story: Many stories about planetary health make me grieve. As a palliative care chaplain, I have learned that one of the best ways to cope with grief is to find a community of support. it may sound cheesy, but events like the Ecochallenge help to feel part of a tribe, of a group with a common purpose. Thank you to every one of you for your efforts. They make the present and future planet a healthier one for me, my family, and my patients.

I'm super stoked for this year's Ecochallenge! Last year, we at IU Health showed out, and I trust we will again this year. Our efforts are helping us make Indiana one of the healthiest states in the nation.
