    How reframing distress can support your workforce and heal your organization

  • HeaR-MI Information Sheet

    MIHC identifies the root causes of your workforce’s distress and offers tailored solutions for reimagining the work environment. Our goal is to improve workforce commitment, recruitment and retention by insuring they have the tools, resources, autonomy, latitude, and values alignment to provide exceptional care.

  • HeaR-MI Program Details

    When leadership makes a small investment in the long-term health of the community, it will pay dividends well into the future in retention and lower recruitment costs. When this program and process are reinforced consistently in the first 6-12 months, benefits accrue and the culture becomes self-sustaining.
