The Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation, the national coalition of health workers for “ALL IN: Wellbeing First for Healthcare,” is inviting organization leaders to participate in its second annual Healthcare Leadership Collaborative event on March 18, 2025. The event is co-hosted by Johns Hopkins Carey Business School’s Human Capital Development Lab and Johns Hopkins Medicine Office of Well-Being. During this event, leaders will discuss strategies for transforming the workforce culture and fostering effective leadership for health care workers.
As of September 1, 2024, 375 hospitals and 34 licensure boards have verified that their credentialing applications do not include any intrusive mental health questions and stigmatizing language – a goal of the “ALL IN: Wellbeing First for Healthcare,” known as the Wellbeing First Champion Challenge.
The foundation recommends that state boards of pharmacy, licensure boards, hospitals, health systems, and insurance companies use the coalition’s licensing and credentialing toolkits to remove any intrusive mental health questions from their applications, forms, and addendums. Additionally, the foundation has developed a downloadable social media toolkit to motivate other licensure boards and hospitals to join the challenge.
NABP supports the Wellbeing First Champion Challenge and other efforts to improve pharmacists’ mental health and well-being and will continue to work with its member boards of pharmacy on this and other efforts that can help create a more resilient and healthier pharmacy workforce.
