With Spring around the corner, you may want to get outside more, work in the garden, volunteer, and overall, be more active mentally and physically. Take the time to evaluate your energy level each day as you work on your to-do list. Prioritize yourself and make sure you aren’t overdoing it. Check out the resource below to help identify and prevent burnouts and embrace self-care strategies.

Your ESRD Network wants to recognize at least one facility staff member each month who is going above and beyond for their patients. This month we want to celebrate the team at Concerto Renal Services!
Concerto was successful in working with the Network to get influenza vaccine data updated in EQRS, showing an improvement from 21% to 81% over the last 6 weeks. We are so grateful for your dedication and hard work, Concerto Renal Services!
Do you have a facility staff member you’d like to nominate for the facility shoutout? Email us the details of who, what, and where at Qsource-Peers@qsource.org.
