WELLNESS MAKE BAD DAYS BETTER We all have a bad day now and then. Sometimes, even a whole string of them. Maybe we feel like, lately, we are in an infinite loop of bad days. So, here we are, feeling low, feeling anxious, feeling untethered. And, if you’re like me, you’re looking for ways to pull yourself up and out. Ways to lift your mood and your outlook. One of the very best ways I’ve found to do this is by doing something kind for someone else. Therapeutic kindness, if you will.

I connect patients who haven’t had care for years with a new family doctor I know will provide them with the care they need. I pump up my staff and watch them make sure that every person they come across feels seen and cared for. I guide our expert team of physicians and clinicians through changes in their workflow, largely brought on by the pandemic, and enable them to find a balance between work and life.
