Meet the Principles of Community Showcase singers: Raeselle Episcope
(SACRAMENTO)
In anticipation of UC Davis Health's Principles of Community Showcase on March 3, organizers invited this year’s performers to share what the Principles of Community mean to them. This week's interview is with Raeselle Episcope.
How do the Principles of Community resonate with you?
"What resonates most to me is the emphasis on listening, empathy, and honoring the diversity of experiences people bring."
What calls you to want to sing the National anthem, or perform for your colleagues?
"I’m drawn to singing and performing because music has a way of bringing people together and creating a sense of shared connection."
Share one experience that recently brought you closer to the Principles of Community at work?
"I had a patient who was confused about their appointment. Instead of rushing, I took the time to listen, explain their options clearly, and reassure them. Moments like that remind me how the Principles of Community show up in small, everyday interactions treating people with dignity, respect, and patience, even over the phone."
What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
"People are often surprised to find out that outside of my day-to-day work, I own a Filipino-inspired dessert catering company."
