Amplifying voices to advance the three pillars of care team safety
06.1.2026
National Safety Month is a reminder that care team safety goes beyond physical safety. To support a thriving workforce and help create safe working environments, we must find and amplify ways to advance the three pillars of care team safety. Thank you to these and many other healthcare leaders, learners and advocates who have shared their personal stories, best practices and more to help safeguard psychological and emotional safety, promote dignity and inclusion, and ensure the physical safety of care team members.
