Dear Recipient
Hello there! I hope you are enjoying your spring. I am writing to let you know that I will be conducting a
pilot study this summer in preparation for my dissertation work this fall. I am sending along a flyer in
hopes you may be able to share it with to anyone you know that would be interested in participating. The
purpose of my study is to explore how health care providers foster their sense and experience of
compassion. I am looking for individuals 18-65 that have been practicing in the field of health care for at
least five consecutive years and who consider themselves compassionate care providers. It is my hope
that this study will shed light on ways to help the health care industry bolster compassionate care.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read through this email and for sharing the flyer with your
network of colleagues. Please have any potential participants contact me at jdedecker@saybrook.edu.
Confidentiality and autonomy will be held in the highest regard.
Be well,
Jenny DeDecker, MS
