  • We are excited to invite FMC physicians to the unveiling of a new space within the Doc’s Lounge—the Disconnect Care Room! Join us for an open house on April 23, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and experience this specially designed space created to provide a tranquil environment where FMC staff physicians can disconnect, rest, and recharge

     After April 23, the Disconnect Care Room will officially be available to all FMC staff physicians 24/7 via swipe card access. Conveniently located in room 154T, you’ll find it directly ahead as you enter the Doc’s Lounge through the main entrance (next to the CAMSS room).

    What’s waiting for you inside?

    • Comfortable lounge chairs and state-of-the-art recliner chairs with heat and massage features.

    • A tranquil atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of the lounge.

    • Phone charging stations, so you can recharge both yourself and your devices.

    As part of the celebration, we’ll also host a free coffee day at the Doc’s Lounge Café! Enjoy a complimentary coffee, tea, or hot chocolate while exploring this serene new space.

  • Do your part for the planet, try a compostable mask! Did you know that in 2020 there were 129 billion masks being thrown out globally every month? That is 3 million masks a minute. These masks have unfortunately found themselves in many unwanted spaces, including thousands of reported incidents of animals ingesting or entangling themselves in our human masks. Traditional single use masks do not disintegrate but much like other single-use plastic items they turn into microplastics. A compostable mask can offer the same protection (ASTM Level 3) as a single use mask PLUS it has the ability to compost in a municipal composting program. Over their life cycle a compostable mask will also provide a 65% reduction in carbon emissions compared to a traditional mask.  This is just one way in which we can be stewards of our health care community and make the environment safer and healthier for all.

    Try a compostable mask today!  They are available in the FMC doc's lounge along with a QR code linked to a survey to provide feedback on the product and sustainability initiative.

    This initiative is supported by the FMC MSA Physician Engagement Grants.
