Today’s show will address the workplace challenges that contribute to risk and impact substance abuse disorder in healthcare environments, which is a critical issue facing professionals in our industry. Our guests today, Luci New, DNP, CRNA and Linda Stone, DNP, CRNA, both have a passion for wellness and understand the unique stressors faced by anesthesia providers.
