Early in the pandemic, members of the Stanford Health Care Radiation Oncology Department created an internal podcast for their department to creatively address the need for connections among onsite and remote staff, acknowledge the emotional and psychological toll of caring for patients during this challenging time, and support the well-being and mental health for oncology staff.

Jenny Kwak"If we can encourage staff to be engaged and value the work, and find meaning and purpose in this work, that’s what has been helping me to stay afloat during this very challenging time. If anything, COVID-19 highlighted that mental health is just as important as physical health.”
