Mission Statement
Medical Imaging is committed to wellness and mentorship initiatives in support of our team. The wellness committee works to foster an environment that promotes positive well-being, team building, and resilience among our Radiology Residents and Fellows. By providing diverse programs and activities, our aim is to support balanced lifestyles that will become the foundation for a successful future.
Our program has secured funding from Banner Health allowing residents to organize events for residents, fellows and attendings. We host both formal and informal gatherings such as dinner-night, bowling, bike-riding and social hour gatherings.
