Curi Named 2026 Wellbeing First Champion, Reinforcing Commitment to Physician Wellbeing

RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Curi, a national healthcare advisory firm, has been named a 2026 Wellbeing First Champion by ALL IN: Wellbeing First for Healthcare, a coalition led by The Dr. Lorna Breen Foundation. The recognition marks the second consecutive year Curi has earned the distinction, underscoring the company's continued commitment to removing barriers to mental healthcare for the physicians and healthcare providers it serves.

As part of the annual Wellbeing First Champion verification, Curi's medical professional liability insurance applications have been reviewed and confirmed to be free of invasive or stigmatizing questions related to mental health. Curi was the first medical professional liability insurer recognized as a Wellbeing First Champion in 2025.

"Physicians and healthcare providers spend their careers taking care of others. We believe they should be able to prioritize their own wellbeing without worrying that seeking care could jeopardize their careers," said Jason Sandner, CEO of Curi. "Earning this recognition for a second consecutive year is meaningful because it reflects our ongoing commitment, not just a one-time change. We're proud to continue putting the wellbeing of the physicians and providers we serve at the forefront of how we do business."

The annual verification is part of ALL IN: Wellbeing First for Healthcare's effort to eliminate policies and practices that can discourage healthcare professionals from seeking mental healthcare. The coalition works to create a healthcare environment where clinicians can access the care they need without fear of professional consequences.

"Updating paperwork is an essential first step, but real transformation occurs when organizations actively shift the surrounding culture. Curi stands out as the only professional liability insurer in the country going beyond policy change to drive education, open dialogue, and advocacy," said Corey Feist, CEO and Co-Founder, Dr. Lorna Breen Foundation. "Through this culture change work, Curi is creating psychological safety for healthcare professionals to feel supported and empowered to seek care without fear."
