WINGS

When individuals need guidance and support

WINGS - When Individuals Need Guidance and Support, is a new support program at HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital. Our WINGS Team is a group of St. Anthony’s colleagues that have been selected and trained in crisis support and stress management. The team includes volunteers from a variety of disciplines throughout the hospital.

A member of the WINGS Team is available to colleagues who need support and guidance while experiencing a stressful event. This is sometimes called “second victim.”

Second victims are health care providers who are involved in an unanticipated adverse patient event, medical error and/or a patient-related injury and become victimized in the sense that the provider is traumatized by the event.
