Success Stories from Healthcare Leaders

"Dr. DeChant was the fire-starter for our system’s culture change in prioritizing physician and provider wellbeing work when he spoke with our system executive leadership in 2018, including me. His compelling message moved us to prioritize it, get organized around it, and ultimately identify the systematic ways we could improve it. While many hands have been on the work since then, and the work is not done, Dr. DeChant’s vision got us moving down the path."

​- Dr. Jim Souza, Chief Physician Executive,

St. Luke’s Health System
