AMA with Dan Gollins and Dr. Sapna Singh: Physician well-being work doesn’t stop at recognition

Health systems across the country are embracing the fact that physician well-being is not a one-time initiative. It is a continuous journey that requires measurement, leadership commitment and meaningful change in day-to-day practice. As physician burnout continues to strain the health care workforce, more organizations are moving beyond awareness toward structured, systemwide strategies that support physicians and the patients they serve. 

That broader shift is reflected in Texas Children’s Pediatrics, which received Bronze-level recognition from the AMA’s Joy in Medicine® Health System Recognition Program. The Joy in Medicine Program empowers health systems to reduce burnout and build well-being so that physicians and their patients can thrive.
