March 18 has been established as Health Workforce Well-Being (HWWB) Day to “bring together national and institutional leaders, policymakers, patients and communities, and health workers of all professions to acknowledge our collective progress and pledge to continue advancing health worker well-being” (National Academy of Medicine [NAM], 2024). System-wide changes are critical in this effort to sustain our health system, ensure quality care, and improve outcomes. The NAM collaborative along with founding partners is recognizing HWWB Day as not just a day of awareness, but also a day for action. Find a schedule of events, toolkit, and ways to participate in HWWB Day here.  

The importance of focusing on health workforce well-being can’t be overstated. Each of us plays a role in prioritizing the well-being of ourselves, our colleagues, and the healthcare workforce.
