The Wednesday Wellbeing Support Group

Working in health care is a virtuous endeavor, yet it can impose distress, burnout, compassion fatigue and other issues in our lives. This support group is open to all UTMB employees and creates a space where you can talk about these issues in a candid and authentic way which may help to lighten those burdens and build solidarity amongst your colleagues. Join your facilitators, Rebecca Castro, Tammy Cupit and Jeff Farroni Wednesdays at 11am. We hope to see you there!

UTMB presents this conference as a platform for wide discussion surrounding four issues:

1. Social, economic, and environmental determinants
2. Health care access, quality, and efficiency
3. Migration of health personnel (brain drain)
4. Migrant detention

Migration is a determinant of health. Displacement and legal status expose people to vulnerability, deprivation, discrimination, violence, abuse, and extortion, and limit their access to healthcare, thus affecting both immediate and lifelong health outcomes. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated existing conditions of vulnerability and social exclusion of marginalized populations, including migrants, especially unauthorized migrants, those in detention centers, refugees, and asylum seekers. Thus, they experience a disproportionately higher pandemic burden. The Annual Conference on the Health of Migrants provides a platform for constructive policy dialogue among relevant stakeholders, including immigrants and organizations representing migrants, law and policymakers, government leaders, health care professionals, the faith community, health system administrators, academicians, researchers, community-based service providers, and international and multilateral organizations.
