Episode 19: In this episode of Jackson Health System’s On Call, Off Script, we sit down with Dr. Vanessa Padilla, a clinical psychiatrist at Jackson Behavioral Health Hospital, Commissioner René Garcia, chairman of Miami-Dade County’s Behavioral Health Advisory Board, and Michelle Kligman, Psy.D., MBA, MS, executive vice president and chief human resources officer at Jackson Health System, for an honest conversation about burnout, mental health, and workplace wellness. The episode explores what burnout really looks like — from emotional exhaustion and irritability, to disengagement and fatigue — and why it affects everyone, from healthcare workers and first responders to office employees and leaders.
