Working in healthcare can be a stressful and emotionally taxing career. The interviewers ask this question to see what interests you and if you have healthy avenues to decompress. They want to hear what hobbies and activities you enjoy and know that you spend time away from work destressing from the pressures of the job.
Focus on describing three or four activities you enjoy. The interviewers want to see what interests you and determine how well you will get along with other team members based on your interests.

"I have three children between the ages of eight and thirteen, so my free time is usually spent running them to sports practices, games, and music lessons. Since they are all in school, I take the mornings to do things for myself, like running, going to the gym, or meeting up with friends for coffee. Taking care of myself first is important so I am better equipped to care for my family and patients. In the evenings, after the kids go to bed, I enjoy curling up with a good book and a cup of tea, which is also calming and helps to reduce stress."
