Celebrate Inaugural Well-Being Awareness Day on March 18

The ACS has joined the National Academy of Medicine (NAM) and other organizations in commemorating the inaugural Health Workforce Well-Being Day of Awareness on Monday, March 18.

US Senators Roger Marshall, MD (R-KS), and Tim Kaine (D-VA) introduced a resolution in February, recognizing the “serious and widespread health care worker burnout in the United States and need to strengthen health workforce well-being.” Read the ACS letter in support of the resolution.

NAM created a “change maker” campaign to spark a national movement in support of health worker well-being and a deep commitment to making well-being a long-term value. The change maker campaign followed the 2022 passage of the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act, which gives healthcare workers better access to evidence-based treatment as well as education and training on preventing stress and burnout.

The ACS is committed to fostering well-being, resilience, and work-life integration at every stage of your career. Among the Well-Being Resources available is an upcoming webinar for residents.
