Physician Wellness

Be Well Physicians

Be Well Physicians is a new program from Butte-Glenn Medical Society to provide social and individual wellness support for physicians. Physicians are often focused on taking care of others. The demands on physicians have increased. Stress and burnout are being reported at higher levels than ever before. We can help.

Enjoy the Physician Community!

Good Vibes E-Newsletter
Led by Dr.Dannielle Harwood, Chief Wellness Officer, the Good Vibes weekly e-newsletter sent out every Monday entails a positive and uplifting message for physicians.
