The first annual Provider Wellness Symposium will be held November 5-7, 2021, in Austin, Texas, at the beautiful Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort. The Provider Wellness Symposium is a national conference and wellness expo that promotes health and wellness for healthcare providers. The mission is to help caregivers learn to properly self-care and give providers tools to better care for themselves, so they can more effectively care for others.
“Clinicians who care for the ill are at high risk for decreased physical and emotional well-being including burnout, decreased resiliency and productivity," said Matthew Zinder, co-founder of the symposium. "In addition, clinicians can experience moral distress and compassion fatigue. This event aims to give providers tools to better care for themselves.”
Topics covered at the conference are stress management, compassion fatigue, mindfulness & meditation, music therapy, fitness, nutrition, and more. Smaller, more intimate breakout sessions will also be available. Attendees can enjoy workshops, presentations or interactive experiences with industry professionals. In addition, attendees can enjoy ultimate relaxation with an afternoon at the spa, horseback riding, petting a Texas Longhorn, or just sharing experiences around a campfire with some freshly made s’mores. This conference weekend promises to have everything a provider needs to let the stress and fatigue melt away.

“In the healthcare industry, we are experiencing a pandemic after the COVID pandemic. Medical professionals have been on the frontlines for over a year with very little assistance in dealing with what they have been through,” said Garry Brydges, member of the National Board of Certification & Recertification for Nurse Anesthetists and former President of the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists. “This is a wellness conference that will have a tremendous impact on the healthcare industry. The big question has been, ‘Who’s caring for the caregivers?” This conference answers that call.’”
