CHARM: PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE
Our organization was developed out of a need for healthcare professionals to prioritize their own well-being, ultimately creating a more supportive and thriving healthcare system. From developing the widely endorsed “Charter on Physician Well-Being” to hosting national courses and fostering ongoing learning communities, CHARM’s dedication to well-being is making a measurable difference.
