Ninth International Conference on Health, Wellness & Society

Abstract

In 2016, The Stanford WellMD Center created a model for Professional Fulfillment based on physician wellness data collected between 2013 and 2016. Although this Model was intended to focus solely on the needs of our physicians, we soon discovered that the concept resonates with individuals from the janitorial staff who sees their role in the healing of our Stanford Medicine patients, to the C-Suite who want to understand how well-being can support their bottom line business needs. This Model expands the concept of wellness and highlights the impact of leadership and business practices that can either support or diminish employee health and well-being. Specific survey data will be shared and participants will engage in a discussion on how they can expand collaboration across departmental silos and seek to raise the level of professional wellness within their organization.
