We believe that establishing a healthy balance between work and life roles begins in residency. At Ascension St. Vincent, we strive to promote work-life balance and support residents in caring for themselves first, in order to better care for their patients. We believe this begins with modeling balance among our faculty, while also advocating for residents physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual needs.
