March 18 marks Health Workforce Wellbeing Day, a time to recognize and support the mental health of those who dedicate their lives to caring for others. Health care professionals face immense pressures, and prioritizing their well-being is not just an act of appreciation, it’s essential for a stronger, more sustainable health care system.
Organizations can take meaningful steps by fostering a culture of wellbeing, providing mental health resources and ensuring that workplaces support psychological safety. One way to demonstrate commitment is through URAC’s Mental Health at Work Accreditation, which helps health care organizations implement and sustain best practices for employee mental health and well-being.
URAC joins the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation in our commitment to making health care workplaces healthier, more supportive environments for those who care for us.
