Huntington Health Recognized as 2026 Wellbeing First Champion

Huntington Health, an affiliate of Cedars-Sinai, has been recognized as a 2026 Wellbeing First Champion by ALL IN: Wellbeing First for Healthcare, highlighting the organization’s commitment to supporting the mental health and wellbeing of its physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs).

“This designation as a Wellbeing First Champion is a win for the mental health of our physicians and APPs,” said David Ulick, MD, chair of the Huntington Hospital Physician Executive Wellness Steering Committee. “Prioritizing mental health and wellbeing not only supports our practitioners, but also helps destigmatize seeking care. It aligns directly with our mission to advance health care with expertise and compassion for every patient.”

Confidential access to mental health services remains a critical issue across the health care industry. According to ALL IN: Wellbeing First for Healthcare, overly invasive mental health questions in licensing and credentialing applications can discourage health care workers from seeking support and are a significant contributor to workforce distress.

By eliminating such questions, Huntington Health is helping lead a cultural shift within health care—reinforcing that caregiver wellbeing is essential to high-quality patient care.

“Every health worker is a human being who carries the immense weight of caring for others,” said Corey Feist, CEO and Co-Founder of the Dr. Lorna Breen Heroes’ Foundation, which leads the ALL IN coalition. “For too long, caregivers have suffered in silence, fearing that seeking mental health care would jeopardize their careers. Huntington Health is helping break that silence—sending a powerful message that your life matters as much as your livelihood, and you never have to choose between the two.”
