The Wellness Committee in the Department of Surgery aims to improve processes in order to bolster the daily experience of our team. Representatives from each division identify projects for the group, and events or activities to improve wellness in our daily lives.

The Surgical Crisis Team is a group of identified peer supporters who have been trained to do initial intervention with identified individuals involved in difficult situations at work. We are joined with the anesthesia crisis team, and focus on unexpected operative events. Our scope reaches further to assist members of the Department of Surgery with events outside of the OR as well. The group consists of attendings, residents and NPs. Individuals are referred for professional counseling or intervention as needed.
A broader group of trained providers within the Department of Surgery make up the Peer Support Group. They are available as a resource to the wellness committee and support wellness initiatives in the department.
