Conversations | Ep. 08

In this episode of the Saint Francis Ministries Conversations podcast, Father Andrew O’Connor sits down with Chief Clinical Officer Amanda Pfannenstiel and Director of Corporate Training Christy Sanders to discuss the organization’s commitment to healthcare equity. They explore how St. Francis has woven equity into its strategic pillars, from data collection and cultural humility training to community partnerships like poverty paradigm simulations that help participants experience the challenges faced by underserved families. The conversation also highlights the organization’s robust training catalog of over 350 courses, now available to external partners and community members, and traces the roots of this work all the way back to Father Bob Mize’s original vision of creating access and opportunity for youth who had nowhere else to turn.
