Ten years ago, Jackson Davis' life changed in an instant. On his way back from the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, a reckless driver caused an accident that brought him to CommonSpirit Health Penrose Hospital's ICU, breaking both his legs and almost losing one.

Jackson's message to those facing a similar journey is to never lose hope.

The profound stress shouldered by physicians and APPs as they tirelessly care for others is immense. Today, on National Physician Su***de Awareness Day, we want to raise awareness, cultivate a positive work environment and deliver care back to them.

One great example of this is the Commensality Dinner concept, pioneered at the Mayo Clinic. These aren't formal events, but off-site gatherings designed for physicians to simply relax with colleagues, share experiences, and get to know one another beyond their titles. It's a space where they can be vulnerable, offer support, and receive it—fostering community and genuine care.

Let's commit to fostering environments where our healers can also heal.
