Dr Oz just gave a terrific keynote at the annual meeting of the National Forum for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention. He emphasized that if we could get everyone to engage in 20 minutes of daily PA, we could not only decrease CV disease but save 100 billion in healthcare costs!

DYK investing in #EBP and clinician well-being is not an expense? It brings great ROI along with healthcare quality & safety. I provided strong evidence for it in my keynote @BayCare on Friday. Also remember taking good self-care is not selfish; it’s necessary!
