WakeMed Named 2024 Wellbeing First Champion

WakeMed is designated as a Wellbeing First Champion by ALL IN: Wellbeing First for Healthcare. This distinction recognizes that our Medical Staff applications are free from intrusive and stigmatizing language around mental health care and treatment. WakeMed recognizes that supporting and protecting the mental health of our team is paramount to their well-being and to the well-being of our entire community. We have taken this step to ensure that our providers can seek needed care without fear of losing their privileges at WakeMed.
