“This is so valuable. Forget the Zoom wellness events or free apps.

What we need as physicians is this. 

A day AWAY from our usual place of work. To be outside, to be with others, to eat healthy food, and to enjoy and learn evidence-based recommendations for wellbeing and longevity. I did not realize how much I needed this.”
