Primary Care Perspectives: Episode 116 - Creative Approaches to Connection

Chalkin’ Your Walkin’ is a pandemic-era project to chalk inspirational messages on the South Street Bridge in Philadelphia, over which many healthcare workers walk and bike to work. The messages are created by Katie Woo Castelo, MSN, CRNP, a nurse practitioner in the Emergency Department at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, with help from her kids. In this 15-minute episode, Castelo explains why she started chalking your walking, and the response to the effort. She also provides useful ideas for how to encourage and connect with children and teenagers during the pandemic, and how to stay connected and support one another as healthcare workers.
