Wellness Anesthesia

Our personal and emotional well-being is a surprisingly vital part of every anesthetic. How we are feeling about our lives in general, and our jobs in particular, has an enormous impact on the care of our patients.

Our Anesthesia Wellness and Engangment Committe, which meets quarterly, will discuss issues and ideas pertinent to improving the wellbeing of anesthesiologists within the department.
