In this podcast, we discuss techniques for stress management and mindfulness for healthcare providers in light of the current COVID19 pandemic.  To say these are trying times for healthcare providers is an understatement.  Healthcare systems and providers have found themselves overwhelmed with COIVD19 patients in areas already hit hard or they are preparing for staff, supply and ICU bed shortages that may come as a result of the rapidly spreading pandemic.  The timeliness of Matt’s talk on stress management can’t be better and the techniques he shares are things we can start doing today to take better care of ourselves and our families. Tune in to hear Zinder walk us through techniques for stress management to help create peace of mind in these trying times.
