The Washington Business Journal recently reported on the critical issue of burnout among healthcare employees. According to a 2021 American Medical Association study, 63% of healthcare workers reported symptoms of burnout. Dr. Julia Shiner, vice president and medical director of employee health and well-being at Erickson Senior Living, was interviewed about the best ways to help combat burnout and support employees. In the article, she describes the more than 1,400 annual well-being visits conducted by Erickson Senior Living’s on-site Employee Health and Well-Being Clinics.
