Creating a Community of Support: Primary Care - South Jordan Health Center

As healers, we often forget to take care of ourselves. Our team identified social disengagement between providers and staff, as well as different departments within primary care; Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics. A project working on social connectedness would decrease absenteeism, improve staff health, mental acuity, reduce mistakes and errors, and improve patient care. Results: Attendance to the 1st potluck was high and fell during the 2nd and 3rd. The social connectedness survey was reapplied and showed a mild decrease in connection, with an average pre-score of 31.81 and post score of 32.28 with the lower number indicating more connectedness.
