We believe it is important to keep our communities informed about our services and our greatest asset - our people.

Our usually quarterly newsletter for physicians and providers aims to keep Reid Health Physician Associates caregivers and others in our region informed and armed with the latest information about our team and services.

The Physician Engagement and Resilience Committee (PERC), which aims to create a more positive and supportive environment for the medical staff. "An engaged, resilient and happy medical staff is crucial to the success of Reid Health and the well-being of our patients," says Chief of Staff Jennifer Bales, M.D., an emergency medicine physician who chairs the PERC. "The PERC gives physicians a forum to share their concerns and ideas for improving their overall satisfaction and creating a stronger sense of community with one another." Members include 12 physicians and six Reid Health administrators. Among the PERC's goals are to build community through social and networking events that give physicians (and their families) opportunities to connect on a personal level, improve physician health and wellness, recognize physician achievements, and reduce daily frustrations.
