Aspen Medical has announced a significant milestone in its commitment to employee welfare signing a 12-month Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Fijian professional counseling specialists Empower Pacific.

The signing marked the beginning of a collaborative effort to enhance the Aspen Medical team’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP).

Aspen Medical has an in house Mental Health team, comprising two counselors and a clinical psychologist, which caters to patients.

Empower Pacific will be an extension of the service if needed for the Aspen Medical teams at Ba and Lautoka Hospitals.

Aspen Medical’s CEO in Fiji, Gavin Whiteside, said, “At Aspen Medical, we recognize the importance of providing comprehensive support to our team, especially during challenging times.

By teaming up with Empower Pacific, we will ensure our team can access the highest-quality counseling services available.”

In addition to counseling services, Empower Pacific will provide specialized training programs, including stress management, anger management, conflict resolution, communication skills and other related training required by Aspen Medical.
