Well-being Message from Jessica Gold (02/03/2026)
Dear Colleagues,
In the midst of these challenging times, I wish to remind you of the resources available for those in need of support through WellMD and WellPhD. Thank you for all the ways you continue to show up for your patients, for each other, and for our community.
Well-being Updates:
The FY26 Pediatric Well-being Annual Plan is now finalized and posted on the Department website. One of our ongoing priorities is to focus on building connections within and across Divisions - ask your Well-Being Champion about initiatives planned for this year!
The 2026 Stanford Medicine Doctor Survey will open in March. Your input is incredibly valuable. In 2024, 80% of our faculty completed the survey—the responses were critical in helping to create and prioritize our work over the past two years. Since then, the Department has sponsored five well-being grants, created, and reported on progress towards our FY 25 Annual Plan goals.
Finally, registration is open for the 2026 WellMD & WellPhD Relationships Recharge Weekend for Couples.
Warmly,
Jessica Gold, MD
