Health Leaders Accelerate Well-Being
At the inaugural Health Workforce Well-Being Day in March 2024, the NAM announced more than 350 health care institutions nationwide have signed up to the NAM’s Change Maker Campaign. As part of this Campaign, the NAM Clinician Well-Being Collaborative engaged about 15 Change Makers in a Photovoice project to depict what institutionalizing health worker well-being as a value looks like in their organization, through their own eyes.
This project uses a creative lens to better understand how organizations across the country are creating work environments that support health workers in providing high-quality care. We hope viewers can identify with the experiences of these Change Makers and feel inspired to ask these questions and initiate change at their own institutions.

Additionally, Members’ shared priorities can be viewed by using the “Filtered By” dropdown. Note that the priorities represented below are not all inclusive but identified by Members as some of their top areas of focus.
Thank you for exploring these Change Makers’ experiences! As you can see, there are many lessons to learn about advancing well-being in the short- and long-term.
This project is one way in which the NAM aims to amplify stories of triumphs and shared challenges to fuel the work of Change Makers. We will continue to engage and elevate all health workforce well-being movement actors’ efforts and expertise.
