Wellness@Work: Caring for Ourselves and Caregivers

Disability:IN North Carolina (DI-NC) is hosting Wellness@Work: Caring for Ourselves and Caregivers on May 23, 2024. Co-sponsors for this event are Novant Health and MetLife. Our keynote speaker, Dr. Jonathan Fisher brings a wealth of experience to caring for others and has also seen the effects of caregiver burnout firsthand in the health care industry and among individuals caring for family members who are experiencing health challenges. He is a Mount Sinai and Harvard-trained cardiologist, mindfulness meditation teacher, and organizational well-being and resiliency leader at Novant Health for a team of 38,000.

Dr. Jonathan Fisher’s mission is to help others train the mind and heal the heart. He has delivered keynotes and workshops on the mind-heart connection, heartful leadership, stress mastery, and total well-being for teams and organizations globally, including IBM, Bank of America, IE Business School, The American College of Lifestyle Medicine, The American Medical Women’s Association, and universities and healthcare organizations. In 2020, he co-founded the Ending Clinician Burnout Global Community and organized the world’s first global summit dedicated to ending clinician burnout, with over a thousand participants from 43 countries. His first book, “Just One Heart: A Cardiologist’s Guide to Healing, Health, and Happiness,” will be released Spring 2024. A panel of experts will follow Dr. Fisher’s keynote to discuss how businesses can support their employees’ mental health as individuals and as caregivers to family members facing mental and physical challenges.  DI-NC is grateful to our co-sponsors, Novant Health and MetLife whose contributions enable DI-NC to offer this virtual event at no charge with all registered participants.
