Helping physicians, their families, and healthcare systems address burnout from a new perspective!

"We are all here to do what we are all here to do." 

– The Matrix Reloaded 

In the matrix of healthcare, every role—physician, spouse, patient, organization—plays a vital part in maintaining the balance and strength of the system.
