WHO WE ARE
Moral Injury of Healthcare, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, was founded in 2018, after a thought experiment about occupational distress reimagined as moral injury, published inSTATNews, went viral. Health workers immediately resonated with the concept, as did other professionals: veterinarians, public defenders, educators, and many others.
As clinicians, leaders, patients, and family members, we have experienced healthcare from every perspective. We know it shouldn’t be this hard for anyone.
