| Mind
& Body Renewal Programs
It
is evident that healthcare jobs are frequently difficult and stressful.
Fatigue, burn-out, depression, anxiety and aches and pains are all conditions
that burden any hospital staff. As a result, in 2007 Arts in Medicine
established the Mind and Body Renewal (MBR) Programs. The MBR programs
offer a reprieve from the busy schedule of our dedicated staff. Time
out for meditation, relaxation, a massage or just a few relaxed breaths
can make a difference in the hearts, minds and bodies of those who are
able to participate in our MBR programs.
Staff member’s comments most often heard are “You came
just in time,” “This is the nicest thing that Shands does
for us,” “I feel so pampered,” and “That was
just what I needed, it’s been a hard day.” The most popular
words heard other than “thank you” are “I wish you
could come every day!”
These programs include:
- Monday Morning Meditation Hour
- PICU Comfort Zone
- Mobile Relaxation Station
- Staff Serenity Room - programs that include the Mindfulness Based
Stress Reduction Program for Healthcare Professionals
