Addressing the Mental Health Toll the Pandemic Has Had on Healthcare Workers and Everyone Else

In this episode of the MGMA Insights podcast, we’re joined by Mark Davis, CEO of Wasatch Pediatrics. Mark has joined the podcast before to discuss behavioral health integration in a medical practice, and he’s here today to talk about the lingering impact loneliness and isolation has had on both staff and patients during Covid-19, and he shares strategies that practices can implement to address this problem.
