The Rev. Dr. Suzanne Watts Henderson, MDiv ’90, senior director of faith and health for Interfaith America, joins President Walton to explore how understanding religious diversity in healthcare can improve patient well-being and health outcomes in this episode of Expanding the Table. Many physicians and healthcare professionals receive little training in addressing spirituality, religion, and faith in patient care, even though these factors often influence medical decisions, coping strategies, and healing.  Watts Henderson leads Interfaith America’s growing exploration of the intersection of faith and health with the goal of engaging religious diversity to strengthen health across the nation. She is an ordained Disciples minister and New Testament scholar, who previously served as a professor of religion and dean of the chapel at Queens University of Charlotte.  #ReligionAndHealthcare #FaithAndHealth #SpiritualityInHealthcare #ReligiousDiversity  #SpiritualCare #PrincetonSeminary #ExpandingtheTable Expanding the Table is a Princeton Theological Seminary podcast hosted by President Jonathan Lee Walton, PhD.
