Creating Healthy Work Environments

Making the ideal workplace not just a goal—but a reality.

What if your workplace felt energizing instead of exhausting? What if it elevated you, challenged you to grow, and supported your well-being?

At Creating Healthy Work Environments, we’re not just imagining that future. We’re building it.

Join us in Washington, DC, and dive into this year’s theme, Healthcare Culture Reimagined: Strategies for Transformation, where we’ll explore bold ideas and evidence-based strategies that fuel real, transformative change in the workplace.

With inspiring keynotes, peer-reviewed sessions, and practical takeaways, we’ll dig into innovative topics like work-life balance, employee well-being, stress management, burnout prevention, mental health support, and more, so you can return to the workplace empowered and capable of inspiring change.

A world where your workplace, your coworkers, your community, and YOU thrive is possible, and it starts here. It starts now. Will you help us make it happen?

Experience DC

DC is a real city with real people that's ready for your next adventure.

There's a reason locals say they live in "DC" and not "Washington." That's because "the latest news from Washington" starts and ends with the federal government, not the city locals and visitors have come to love. DC is where you can access the world's best museums—many that are free to visit. DC is where you go to explore neighborhoods with homegrown businesses and diverse communities. DC is where you and your friends can make lasting memories from events, shows and moments you'll find no place else.
