Getting Back in the Saddle

Abstract

Introduction: This week I have a story from Merredith Moreau, a nurse practitioner who works with me at the Homeless Outreach and Advocacy Program at the Family Health Center of Worcester. She told us this story at one of our staff meetings where we share successes to remind us all why we do this work. I also love this reflection as it is exactly what the Family Medicine Moments was intended for - to celebrate our little triumphs that we garner each day, each week, year by year, moment by moment. This is our antidote to burnout - this moment that Merredith has captured below is what helps us to thrive. Pure joy. Enjoy.
