Physician Well-Being Resources

Help your physicians and caregivers rediscover their joy in medicine. Support well-being and address burnout with proven, confidential resources that will strengthen your people—and your organization’s bottom line.

Give Physicians the Support They Need—and Want

Burnout is a serious problem—for clinicians, health systems and patients. While some organizations have made progress improving workplace culture, most still face systemic challenges of persistent mental health stigma, high clinician turnover, and outdated expectations of overwork. Your entire workforce, from frontline caregivers to executive leadership, feel the impacts. 

High Burnout Rates

49% of physicians reported feeling burned out and burnout can have serious consequences for the healthcare system and patient care.

Physician Availability

More physicians are leaving the field than entering it, creating a shortage—and it can cost your organization $500k to $1M to replace a single physician.

Healthcare Costs

"One of the big gaps we found was that we didn't have a successful EAP program within our organization that physicians trusted.The fact that VITAL WorkLife provides not only counseling but also peer coaching is critical. Their 24/7 support line, our physicians and APPs can call and talk to a professional who knows how to address burnout at any time.”
