Voices from the Workplace: In the Hospital with Andy and Barb Wood

Summary

In this Voices from the Workplace episode, Joanna Meyer talks with husband and wife Barb and Andy Wood about their unexpected mid-career transition from ministry into healthcare. Andy now serves as a hospital chaplain and Barb as an OB-GYN nurse, placing them at two very different but deeply meaningful moments of life in the hospital. Drawing from their experiences at the bedside, they reflect on how faithful presence, deep listening, and honoring the dignity of every person shape their daily work. Through stories from their hospital roles, they invite listeners to see their own workplaces as places to practice faithfulness and care for others, even within large systems and ordinary routines.
