Working in the healthcare industry requires great compassion, and the interviewer wants to see if you will be a good fit for the role. Focus on ensuring the hiring manager understands you are a compassionate person. You can say you are compassionate, but giving an example where you have helped others is a better way to let them know. For example, you can describe your volunteer experience, how you cared for an elderly relative, held the hand of dying patients, or comforted a grieving family member. Give your personal example that shows you have compassion for others.
