The program will provide state healthcare workers confidential virtual and in-person support for burnout, mental health, substance use disorder and well-being, among other needs, according to a Jan. 9 news release.
Shelly Farnan, chief wellness officer at MU Health Care, said in a Jan. 9 statement shared with Becker’s that she encouraged healthcare leaders to familiarize themselves with the physician and health professional programs within their states to help support employees.
“Health care professional well-being is a crucial component of community health,” she said. “Effectively caring for healthcare well-being requires expert training, specialized knowledge, as well as a diverse range of resources and relationships built over time to address unique needs effectively.”
