In this final episode of the Heart of Healthcare mini-series, Prof. Dr. Jan Bonhoeffer and Andrea Gardner look ahead to the next decade of heart-based medicine — exploring how evidence, human connection, and responsible scaling can shape a more compassionate future of care.

They are joined by Dr. Farhad Riahi, physician, Assistant Professor of Medicine at McGill University, and long-time leader in cross-sector healthcare partnerships. Together, they examine what it means to grow a model without losing its essence: how to identify what must stay core, what can adapt, and how teams can carry heart-based principles into diverse contexts.

Through a rich dialogue on culture, leadership, collaboration, and mission-aligned investment, the episode highlights the emerging role of the Heart-Based Center as a living lab — and the Foundation’s work to build scalable, evidence-informed models for human-centered healthcare.

This closing episode invites listeners to become part of a broader movement: strengthening health systems by strengthening the human relationship at their core.
