Patrick understands burnout personally.
He entered the Covid-19 pandemic as a thriving healthcare leader. His departments regularly ranked as some of the most engaged in a large health system.
But, by the Fall of 2022, he was burned out, depressed, anxious, and experiencing severe medical concerns. On his 44th birthday, he landed in the E.R. of his own hospital, just three floors below his office. That was his wake-up call. He could no longer ignore the work stresses that had nearly killed him. Things needed to change.
Does this story sound familiar? It’s becoming an all-too-common pattern for professionals in helping fields like healthcare, education, law enforcement, non-profit and others.
“When l left teaching I felt so guilty and didn’t feel validated or heard by the administration. My peers got it, but the guilt for “walking out on a classroom of kids” is very deep! I wrote down what Patrick said, ‘Moral Distress and Burnout happen to good people, who want to do a good job, being forced into impossible situations over and over.’ That hit me.”

The stakes are high
Burnout at work leads to absenteeism, increased errors, and a lack of retention. But the cost can be even higher. Depression, PTSD, lack of fulfillment, and other effects of burnout demoralize our coworkers. The Surgeon General considers this a crisis that could lead to an increasing shortage of doctors, nurses, and other health professionals. Not to mention the detrimental effects on the coworkers who remain.
