Well-Being Team

Our team of well-being champions is dedicated to taking action in support of students, residents, fellows, faculty, and staff. We live out our well-being commitment statement and our work is grounded in our well-being model. Our core functions include gathering and disseminating well-being data, regularly identifying and addressing well-being priorities at the local and system level, supporting teams in their well-being initiatives, and providing well-being focused educational opportunities. All of our efforts are collaborative, and we work with a number of offices, programs and departments across the system.

Our team's mission statement is "healing healthcare so that we flourish and serve."
