ACP Chapter Well-being Spotlight

The California Southern Region III Chapter was part of the leadership team for this past August's Heat and Human Health Summit in San Diego. Inspired by the ACP Well-being Fun Zone at this year's Internal Medicine Meeting, they made an interactive table as opposed to a straight informational table. The opportunity to create something drew people to the table and lots of questions about what ACP is (among many other things, an organization that prioritizes well-being and professional fulfillment)! One person who stopped by even said that he signed up for membership when we saw him again at the end of the summit. Another participant remarked, “You have no idea what you're unlocking in me now.” Someone else said, “You don't have to ask me twice. This is so cool and so much better than picking up some random stuff.” Some were so proud of their work that they decided to share it with the summit audience by posting it on the wall next to the main auditorium.

Thank you to WBC and California Southern Region III Chapter Governor Dr. Tammy Lin for sharing this story with us! Would you like your chapter's well-being activities to be featured in an upcoming issue of I.M. Thriving? E-mail us at acpwellbeing@acponline.org
