Give and Take

Data drives best practice, and this certainly holds true for physician wellness. Every two years, the Joy of Medicine Sacramento Region Physician Survey gives us valuable trends and critical insight into the challenges that physicians face. Your responses – anonymous and aggregated – help push medical groups and health systems to make real improvements in physician well-being.

 

The survey closes April 11. Take it today and don’t miss your chance to influence meaningful change! Beyond reshaping the stress points of medicine in our region, it only takes five minutes, you get a $10 Amazon gift card, and you're entered to win a $250 Amazon gift card.

 

Further, Big Day of Giving runs from April 17 through May 1. Your donations support the Future of Medicine program, helping local students explore the many careers in medicine. Keep your eyes open for how to support this impactful program!

 

Join me. Take the survey. Make a difference. Give back. Your participation matters!

 

Thank you!

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY OF THE MONTH

Discuss Your Specialty with the Future of Medicine

 

Inspire the next generation of physicians in just one virtual session! The Future of Medicine program is seeking physicians to speak to a group of high school students about their specialty - why you chose it, what your work entails, and your advice for future doctors. Your insight can spark curiosity, answer questions, and guide students toward a career in medicine. It’s a one-time commitment with a lasting impact. Presentations are thirty minutes and take place between June 11 - 27.

 

Message Sam Mello-Edwards at smello@ssvms.org today to share your journey and help shape the future of healthcare!

I'll Inspire the Future of Medicine!
