Dr. Scott Dunavant, a TeamHealth emergency medicine physician based in Southwest Florida, is on his way to Ukraine to provide rapid medical response to Ukrainians suffering in the war. In a recent WINK article, Dr. Dunavant shared the importance of giving back: “It makes you a better physician as a provider because it also, more importantly, makes you a better person. You become more empathetic.” TeamHealth commends the exceptional work of Dr. Dunavant and will continue to support the heroic work our clinicians are doing in their communities and around the world.
On Tuesday, April 26th at 1 p.m. EDT, TeamHealth and McKnight’s Long-Term Care News are hosting a CE-based webinar, “Understanding and Managing Major Neurocognitive Disorders in Post-Acute Facilities.” Behavioral health is the fastest-growing area impacting post-acute communities today. Caring for adults with behavioral health challenges is creating new care service opportunities for providers – but it can also result in serious clinical and compliance issues, and even new stress levels for care teams, if not managed and executed with compassion, awareness, and education.
