The good health news on mindfulness doesn’t end there. A recent article from UMass Medical School reported that mindfulnessnot only leads to healthier patients, but also happier doctors. The article reports that  the research of Ronald Epstein, MD has found that “as the benefits of mindfulness are increasingly recognized by patients coping with a variety of medical conditions, so too is the realization that being completely in touch with, and aware of, the present moment, as well as taking a non-evaluative and non-judgmental approach to one’s inner experience, can also help the doctors on whose care patients depend.” 03/03/11
