“In Nebraska we have found that having a continuum of programs available for our physicians who are at various stages of readiness for leadership growth and support during some of the most difficult times has served our physicians well. The Physicians Leadership Academy (PLA) and LifeBridge Nebraska serve as a resource for the other program. LifeBridge coaches are very familiar with PLA and when appropriate will suggest it as a resource to physicians that they are coaching. Likewise, physicians who are participating in PLA have been referred to LifeBridge via the PLA facilitator.

The Physicians Leadership Academy is organized to empower physicians to lead in the delivery of high-quality, cost-efficient health care, to strengthen the physician-patient relationship, to support physicians in sustaining their medical practices, and to help practicing physicians navigate the changing health care system. Overall, the program aims to educate physicians on the leadership skills necessary to drive health care excellence and assist physicians in delivering quality care to their patients.

The NMF is enhancing the LifeBridge Nebraska program by implementing a multifaceted strategy focused on comprehensive physician education and fostering trust within the medical community. The primary objectives include increasing physician engagement, dismantling stigma associated with seeking well-being support, and fostering collaborative relationships with health systems, hospitals, and clinics throughout Nebraska.”
