Racism, now recognized as a public health crisis, harms communities and costs the U.S. economy $451 billion. Provider burnout exacerbates this, leading to subpar care, staff shortages, and disproportionately affecting BIPOC providers and providers in under-resourced areas. Togather aims to increase retention and reduce inequities by empowering healthcare providers with tools for personal growth and systemic change.

Burnout undermines healthcare, compromising care quality and deepening inequities. Emotional exhaustion affects patient care and provider mental health. Those addressing inequities, especially BIPOC providers facing systemic racism, endure added pressures including harassment and job instability. Togather responds by equipping providers to champion equitable healthcare while supporting their well-being.

C-suite executives across healthcare industries agree that workforce wellbeing is critical to achieving any health equity goals in 2024. However, this commitment must extend beyond the superficial measures of pizza parties. Acknowledging that burnout, like health inequities, is rooted in systemic issues, calls for comprehensive and sustained solutions. Through evidence based and community powered interventions Togather is answering that call.

What our community is saying.

"The vision behind Togather is what drew me to this platform. Having personally experienced burnout, I know how pervasive it is in our field. It feels reassuring to be part of a community where we openly discuss burnout, wellness, intersectionality, and health-based injustices, while also being offered opportunities to learn and grow together."

"I appreciate and learn from the interdisciplinary discussions and trainings provided by Togather members."

"I love that its such an enriching, non-judgemental space to share/get feedback on situations where one could feel alone."

"I never thought I'd find a platform that made me feel seen, supported, and genuinely cared for, but that's exactly what Togather is. Cheesy as it might sound, Togather feels like "joy scrolling" or "heal scrolling" instead of doom scrolling. The folks on it and the way the platform is run ensure that all the content I see is either directly helpful in my line of work, or else feeding and sustaining my soul, or giving me learning opportunities about adjacent fields that grow my understanding of health care and community support. I just wish Togather had existed ten years ago!"

"Togather has been a great place to communicate with likeminded folks across the healthcare profession, share resources, and contribute to each others' resilience in the work we do in tangible ways."
