As a physician, you’ve dedicated your career to caring for your patients’ health and well-being. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, patients’ health care needs have spiraled and the hazards of providing that care have intensified. Despite this, you rose to the challenge. While you continue to work on the front lines of a global pandemic, you’re now preparing to take your place at the forefront of a massive vaccination initiative.
You’ve shouldered an incomprehensible amount of stress and grief. It’s more important than ever before that you care for your own well-being, and the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) is here to support you!
The OAFP is leaning into its strategic priority “to bring the joy back to family medicine,” by delivering a week full of joy to your inbox!
Each day this week, you will receive an email filled with information on topics that are related to a daily wellness theme. You can choose to engage immediately or revisit when you have the time and space to do so.
Throughout the week, the OAFP is also hosting live presentations and discussions on the OAFP Facebook page and YouTube channel where expert speakers will share small chunks of content under that day’s theme. All sessions will be archived on the OAFP website.
Overall, the OAFP is providing a space for members to engage in content that will spark a new sense of joy in what they do and improve their well-being, reduce burnout, and ultimately improve patient care.
Visit the Wellness Week webpage for more information and to access resources and archived sessions!
Finally, don’t forget to track your activity and gratitude this week. Submit your Wellness Week Tracker by Friday, August 20, to be entered to win an OAFP logo item! More information is available in the Wellness Week Challenge packet.
