Join us for the 2024 Summit
The LDHI Humankindness and Health Justice Virtual Summit will be the first ever convening of national thought leaders to share insights, best practices and more about how the science of kindness, compassion, empathy and trust can accelerate health justice.
About the Institute
The Lloyd H. Dean Institute for Humankindness and Health Justice (LHDI) was launched in 2022 to help amplify our belief that health justice starts with humankindness.
CommonSpirit defines humankindness as inspiring change in health care that leads to more empathy, listening and respect – because we believe that humanity holds the power to heal. LDHI serves as a convener and catalyst for health justice and humankindness initiatives, across our ministry and beyond.
The summit experience
The Humankindness & Health Justice Virtual Summit will bring together national thought leaders across the health care landscape to share innovative insights and ways to leverage the science of kindness, compassion, empathy and trust in our everyday lives to create a more just, equitable and kind world.
