Caring for Those Who Care

When I say people are what make us great at GBMC HealthCare, I mean it. Every person who walks through our doors brings something vital to our shared vision: to treat every patient the way we would want our own loved ones treated. But to do that well, we need to care for our staff in the same way, fully and holistically. 

That’s why we’ve built a comprehensive framework to support your wellbeing, not just in body and mind, but in all areas of life. Here's a look at the eight interconnected pillars of wellbeing we focus on at GBMC, and the many ways we’re here for our team:

Physical Wellbeing 

From free biometric screenings and flu shots to access to our onsite fitness center and discounted gym memberships, we encourage you to take care of your body. Our health plan and wellness incentives are designed to support your preventive care and overall health. 

Emotional Wellbeing 

Whether you’re navigating personal stress or the emotional demands of health care work, you are not alone. We offer free, confidential counseling through our Employee Assistance Program, mindfulness workshops, crisis support, CARES peer support, on-call chaplaincy and spiritual care. 

Financial Wellbeing 

Financial stability is essential to peace of mind. We provide tools and support for retirement planning, tuition assistance, budgeting resources, and employee discount programs, and even offer access to the Peake Federal Credit Union to help with financial success. 

Social Wellbeing 

Fostering connections and belonging are important to helping staff feel engaged and comfortable in their work environment. Through our Employee Resource Groups, social events, recognition programs, and volunteer opportunities, we aim to create a community where you feel included, supported, and celebrated. 

Professional Wellbeing 

Your growth matters. GBMC is proud to offer opportunities for career development through tuition reimbursement, certification programs, mentoring, leadership training, and support for continuous learning and advancement. 

Environmental Wellbeing 

We are intentional about creating safe, welcoming, and healthy workspaces. From ergonomic workstations to clean, healing-centered environments and efforts toward sustainability, we want every GBMC space to support your health and focus. 

Spiritual Wellbeing 

No matter your faith background or beliefs, we provide space and resources for spiritual reflection and renewal. Chaplaincy services, meditation rooms, and emotional support are available to help you feel grounded and cared for in all moments. 

Intellectual Wellbeing 

We encourage lifelong learning. Whether it’s participating in innovation work, learning through clinical education, attending a lunch-and-learn, seeking higher education, or simply accessing free resources through GBMC University, we support your curiosity and ongoing growth. 

To make it easier to access and explore all these resources, we’ve launched a new Wellbeing Portal, a one-stop hub where you can learn about what’s available in each area of wellbeing. The portal will continue to grow as new offerings are developed, based on our people’s feedback and evolving needs. 

Thank you for all that you do. We’re proud to care for the caregivers. 

Remembering Benita "Bonnie" Kaplan 

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Bonnie Kaplan, President of the GBMC Volunteer Auxiliary Board, a devoted volunteer, and a cherished member of our GBMC family. Bonnie not only gave generously of her time and leadership, but she also formed meaningful connections with patients, offering comfort and encouragement during their healthcare journeys. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her husband, Ken, also a loyal GBMC supporter, her loved ones, and all who were fortunate to know her. Bonnie’s warmth, compassion, and fierce dedication will forever be part of our GBMC story.
