Vivian held its inaugural annual Healthcare Professional Wellness Week from January 7–13, 2024, to support nurses and allied health professionals nationwide. The week featured free live events on topics like meditation, mental health and mentorship to support busy clinicians like you and help you carve out time for self-care!

Sneak Peak of What the Video Covers
Healthcare Professional Wellness Week attendees met Dominique Adair, a registered dietician and Head of Clinical Quality at Nourish. She gave a brief overview of Nourish and its services, highlighting that most users’ insurance covers it.
