GMEC Wellness Champions

GMEC Wellness Champions

Wellness is a journey that takes teamwork. Our GMEC Wellness Champions are chosen by their program leadership because of their passions for wellness.  Each Champion strives to promote resident and fellow well-being, encourage and inspire house staff participation, and serves as the voice between our GMEC Well-Being Committee and their programs.

The GMEC Wellness Champions communicate opportunities within and outside of Temple to their house staff colleagues and help communicate the needs of Temple house staff to the Well-Being Committee.  The Wellness Champions lead by example, help build camaraderie among the residents and fellows, and impact the overall culture of wellness within our organization.
