who we are
The North Carolina Clinician & Physician Retention & Well-Being (NCCPRW) Consortium unites healthcare administrators, physicians, clinicians, and advocates to make clinician well-being a shared priority across our state.
We believe that supporting the people who care for others is essential to building a stronger, healthier North Carolina.
Our History
Since 2016, the North Carolina Medical Society (NCMS) has convened statewide partners to advance clinician and physician well-being, retention, and systemic change across healthcare institutions. Through this collaborative foundation, the Consortium began addressing stressors at the individual, organizational, and system levels, helping healthcare professionals thrive while ensuring the highest standards of patient care.
In 2024, the Consortium became an independent nonprofit organization, officially forming the North Carolina Clinician & Physician Retention & Well-Being (NCCPRW) Consortium. With new funding and expanded partnerships, NCCPRW is broadening its reach—developing innovative resources, amplifying stakeholder engagement, and positioning North Carolina as a national leader in clinician well-being.
Our Vision
North Carolina leads the nation in clinician well-being—where every healthcare organization embeds a lasting commitment to clinician and physician health into its culture, policies, and daily practice.
Our Mission
To unite North Carolina’s healthcare leaders in advancing clinician and physician well-being through collaboration, advocacy, shared resources, and education.
