Today recognizes National Physician Suicide Awareness Day. Physicians have one of the highest suicide rates of any profession, often working in high-stress environments and battling a number of mental obstacles. In this video, Dr. Jody Crane, Chief Medical Officer, stresses why recognizing this day is increasingly important in an industry like healthcare. Dr. Crane shares why seeking support when needed is not a sign of weakness but rather a sign of strength and encourages those suffering to ask for help. If you or a loved one is suffering, there are resources available.
