• ALL IN Fund Awardees: Four healthcare systems- Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, Desert Sage Health Centers, Johns Hopkins Medicine and The Lundquist Institute at Harbor UCLA-receive $500,000 in funding to launch well-being programs for their workforces.

ALL IN Fund Awardees
ALL IN continues its grant program with its latest round of awardees to build the capacity of healthcare organizations to implement systems-level change and a cultural shift that prioritizes their healthcare workforce's well-being. The latest round of funding brings the ALL IN Fund's total giving to over $1.3 million across 11 healthcare organizations that seek to address one or more of the actions within ALL IN's Healthcare Workforce Rescue Package. The four newest grant recipients are:

• Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC): Introducing the Leaders Taking the Lead on Wellness program for ANTHC staff working at the Alaska Native Medical Center to increase organizational leader capacity to monitor personal health, model resiliency practices, create psychological safety, advance staff well-being as a core leadership responsibility and recognize/respond to staff mental health challenges.
• Desert Sage Health Centers: Launching A Multi-pronged Approach to Improve Clinician Well-Being and Team Function in a Frontier Medicine Setting to assess current burnout drivers and develop sustainable solutions that address those challenges, such as rapid improvement workshops focused on reducing administrative burden; culture work to improve workplace relationships and values; and professional coaching sessions for workers to learn strategies to improve resilience and overall well-being.
• Johns Hopkins Medicine: Implementing A System Reorganization Intervention to prospectively address medication prior authorizations (PA) and pharmacy assistance in high needs primary care practices, ultimately reducing PA administrative burden for clinicians so they can focus their time on giving high value care to patients.
• The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center: Starting A Suicide Prevention and Depression Awareness Program at a large public teaching hospital to provide their workforce a confidential program to screen for depression and suicide, and access and utilize confidential mental health counseling services in collaboration with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

"These four new ALL IN Fund recipients are each pioneering extraordinary initiatives at a local level to contribute to our greater mission where every health worker feels valued, protected and empowered to seek the care that they need," said Corey Feist, co-founder of ALL IN: WellBeing First for Healthcare and president of the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes' Foundation. "However, we were only able to provide funding to 4% of the eligible organizations that submitted applications to the ALL IN Fund-more investment is critical for us to realize a nation where every healthcare system has the resources, responsibility and resolve to improve its workforce's well-being."
