Resident Wellness

Resident wellness is a cornerstone of the Henry Ford St. John Anesthesia Residency experience. We recognize that wellness goes beyond the absence of burnout and encompasses a holistic approach to mind, body, and spirit. Our department provides a generous annual wellness stipend that residents can use for gym memberships, massages, wellness-related apps, and other self-care activities. Additionally, our mental health benefits include access to a comprehensive Employee Assistance Program and a local therapist who specializes in supporting graduate medical trainees.

Our department offers a variety of wellness activities, including:

• Social outings
• Annual holiday party
• Annual department picnic
• Wellness workshops

Hospital wellness amenities include:

• Renewal rooms throughout the hospital
• Rooftop garden
• Healing Arts Center
• Rides home via Lyft for residents who feel too tired to drive after a shift
