Resident Wellness
Resident wellness is a cornerstone of the Ascension St. John
Anesthesia Residency experience. We recognize that wellness goes beyond the
absence of burnout and encompasses a holistic approach to mind, body, and
spirit. Our department provides a generous annual wellness stipend that
residents can use for gym memberships, massages, wellness-related apps, and
other self-care activities. Additionally, our mental health benefits include
access to a comprehensive Employee Assistance Program and a local therapist who
specializes in supporting graduate medical trainees.
Our department offers a variety of wellness activities, including:
- Social outings
- Annual holiday party
- Annual department picnic
- Wellness workshops
Hospital wellness amenities include:
- Renewal rooms throughout the hospital
- Rooftop garden
- Healing Arts Center
- Rides home via Lyft for residents who feel too tired to drive after a shift
