Foundation of Wellness

 

The Pyramid of Wellness is not just a framework—it’s a call to action. Together, we can create a culture of care that starts from within and radiates outward, touching every aspect of our professional lives. This series of five wellness workshops starts October 9, 2025, with one-hour online workshops every other month. Each workshop will focus on one level of the pyramid: Personal, People, Practice, Patient and Profession.  We will conclude in person at Fiesta NMDA 2026 at Hotel Albuquerque (May 28-30).
