Wellness & Wisdom: A Holistic Reset for NPs

As part of NP Week 2025, we invite you to Wellness & Wisdom, an immersive wellness experience designed to restore, inspire, and empower Nurse Practitioners.

This year’s theme, "Leading with Expertise, Collaborating with Purpose," reminds us that true leadership is rooted in balance—caring for ourselves as we care for others. This event is a dedicated time to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your own well-being, ensuring that you continue to lead with clarity and purpose.

Indulge in a revitalizing evening filled with self-care experiences, including relaxing spa treatments, guided mindfulness sessions, movement-based wellness activities, and expert-led discussions. Discover holistic strategies to sustain both your personal and professional health while engaging with fellow NPs who understand the demands of the profession.

This is more than just a wellness event—it’s a celebration of you. Step away from the daily grind and embrace an evening that will leave you feeling restored, reenergized, and ready to continue making an impact in healthcare.

Because when we care for ourselves, we lead with strength.
