Stop the Scrolling, Start the Healing
ON THE JOURNEY TO YOUR DESTINATION, IT'S IMPORTANT TO VISIT THE REST STOPS OF LIFE.
On your next coffee or lunch break, we invite you to break the habit of the endless social media scrolling and instead, spend this important time refreshing your spirit through our guided exercises, or learning more about how to improve your resiliency.
Relax. Refresh. Renew. Repeat.
The Healthcare Rest Stop was created to provide healthcare professionals with an online place of respite from their demanding work schedules and personal commitments. Post-pandemic burnout continues to impact healthcare organizations and their practitioners. At the heart of healthcare professional well-being and engagement is a sense of community and workplace connectedness, as well as a restored sense of purpose, positivity, and focus that creates resilience. Intentionally creating time and space for connection in the workplace can be challenging, so that’s why we are developing this online rest stop for the healthcare community. We encourage you to bookmark this site and return to it regularly, as we continue to add content. The Healthcare Rest Stop is an enterprise of Keystone Media Inc. and Keystone Continuing Education, LLC. It is affiliated with Healthcare Hygiene magazine, launched in October 2019 by a career journalist who is the daughter of a nurse and who is committed to offering the highest quality content and continuing education to healthcare stakeholders.
