What you need to know
WeCare, our confidential, peer-to-peer support program, is designed to help team members and clinicians manage any negative emotional consequences they may experience as a result of the work they do.The details
Built on the foundation of collaboration and compassion, the program's vision is to “support the holistic needs of team members and community-based clinicians throughout the Hackensack Meridian Health”. In addition, WeCare supports our journey to being a High-Reliability Organization (HRO) particularly by supporting the HRO Principle of Resiliency.“Every day, our team members and clinicians are delivering the best possible care for our patients – and are doing so with unwavering compassion and commitment. This is no small feat. Just as we deeply care for our patients, it’s equally as important that we show support for those who are providing that care. The WeCare program allows us to give our caregivers the emotional first aid they need, when they need it, and to ensure we continue to provide a safe, supportive environment for our teams across Hackensack Meridian Health.” - Dr. Ramon Solhkhah, department chair of psychiatry, Hackensack Meridian Health Jersey Shore University Medical Center.
