Exclusive WiES Webinar: Creating the Future of EMS Wellness

Tuesday, August 8th at 10 AM PT / 11 AM MT / 12 PM CT / 1 PM ET

When problems arise, opportunities appear. What if I told you this is a time of great opportunity? That many of the goods and services we have today came out of a response to a problem. What if I told you many of the solutions to our problems relate to wellness? Yes, that’s right wellness!

In this presentation, we will take a deep dive into how the components of EMS wellness and operations intersect. What are the problems? In other words, what are the opportunities? Are we missing the mark addressing industry issues that are not truly operational, but related to wellness? Where does organizational wellness begin? If we work with leaders who are unwell, will we then inherit unwell habits and behaviors?  What are the true long-term effects of poor sleep? How does our current work environment influence what and how we eat? Does our work environment need to align with our values and beliefs to remain in good health? While wellness is not reimbursable, its return on investment is a big piece of the thriving workforce puzzle.
