Physician Parent Well-Being Network

Who We Are

Dr. Laura Dichtel and Dr. Josephine Li were two founding members of a home-grown pilot physician parental wellness program that was started in 2019 in the Endocrine Division at the Massachusetts General Hospital. After multiple rounds of expansion over the years, the program has now grown into the Mass General Brigham (MGB) Parental Wellness Program (PWP) that serves all physicians and faculty across our healthcare system.

The mission of the MGB PWP is to support physicians and faculty who are navigating parenthood, including initiatives that promote well-being, build community, support healthy work-life integration, and foster both personal wellness and professional productivity.

Our goal is to spread and share these parental wellness and lactation initiatives to other institutions in a collaborative way! We invite you to join our Physician Parent Well-Being Network (PPWN) by signing up for our email list below.
