Retreat Guest Speaker: Dr. Marina Capella — Supporting Women in Medicine Through Connection and Care
If you’ve ever wondered how physicians care for themselves while caring for everyone else, you’re not alone. At this year’s Women’s Retreat, hosted by the Culver Pediatrics Center, guest speaker Dr. Marina Capella is opening an important conversation about the emotional and physical well-being of women in medicine — and how community plays a vital role in sustaining that balance.
As a dedicated pediatrician and advocate for preventive health, Dr. Capella understands firsthand the pressures that female physicians face. From long hours and emotional demands to balancing career and family, burnout is a very real challenge. Through her talk, she’s helping women reconnect with their “why,” nurture their own wellness, and model healthy boundaries that ripple outward to their patients, families, and communities.
Understanding the Mission Behind the Retreat
The Women’s Retreat is more than a getaway — it’s a safe space to breathe, reflect, and rediscover purpose. Designed for healthcare professionals and community members alike, the retreat encourages conversations about resilience, balance, and joy.
By featuring leaders like Dr. Marina Capella, Culver Pediatrics Center reinforces its commitment to caring for caregivers too. Supporting women in medicine isn’t just good for doctors — it strengthens every family and child they serve.
Why Preventing Female Physician Burnout Matters
Burnout among female physicians doesn’t just affect doctors — it impacts the quality of care families receive. When women in medicine are supported, everyone benefits. Recognizing early signs of stress, exhaustion, and disconnection can make a major difference in both personal wellness and patient outcomes.
By addressing these challenges openly, events like the Women’s Retreat encourage proactive wellness — the same preventive mindset we apply in pediatric care.
A Whole-Person Approach to Health
At the Culver Pediatrics Center, we believe prevention doesn’t stop at vaccines and checkups — it includes mental, emotional, and social well-being. Dr. Capella’s approach reminds us that caring for the caregiver ensures that every child and family receives more focused, compassionate care.
