Description

More Than Fine: Advancing Human Flourishing as a Strategic Value for Better Patient Care   
Lessons from UnityPoint Clinic on Translating Well‑Being into Workforce and Clinical Impact  

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 
1 - 2 p.m. Eastern; noon - 1 p.m. Central; 10 - 11 a.m. Pacific

The gap between leadership intent and clinical reality is increasingly not just a culture consideration — it is an operational risk. Across many health systems and hospitals, well-being is implemented as discrete initiatives rather than a strategic driver. Even when leaders are deeply committed to supporting their teams, front-line clinicians can experience a different reality. This disconnect directly impacts patient safety, workforce stability and long-term organizational sustainability.

Join us for a high-level executive briefing on the Human Flourishing Framework. We will explore the Value on Investment (VOI) of a flourishing workforce. Drawing on the UnityPoint Clinic case study, we will demonstrate how organizations can evolve from managing burnout to creating a strategic environment in which clinicians thrive across six core domains of well-being.

Executive Insights:

  • The Challenge: Why current well-being efforts have had limited impact on clinician mental health.
  • The Framework: Understanding the Six Domains of Flourishing as an organizational lever for alignment and performance.
  • The Evidence: Proof points and measurable workforce impact from UnityPoint Clinic.
  • The Evolution of Value: Expanding from traditional ROI to a comprehensive VOI that reflects long-term sustainability and clinical excellence.

Attendees Will Learn to:

  • Analyze the "Leadership-Workforce Alignment Gap": Identify the specific data points where executive perception of well-being may differ from the day‑to‑day experience of front-line staff.  
  • Define and Operationalize Flourishing: Articulate the six domains of well-being and how they move beyond surface-level perks to drive genuine clinical engagement.  
  • Translate Intent into Impact: Apply leadership behaviors and mindset shifts that translate high-level intent into felt, real-world impact for the workforce.  
  • Architect a Strategic Alignment: Connect human flourishing to broader organizational goals, positioning well-being as a core driver of culture and performance.  
  • Measure the VOI (Value on Investment): Expand traditional ROI metrics to capture the total value of flourishing on patient care, retention and organizational sustainability.
