HEAL THE HEALERS NOW (HEALTHCARE):IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, THE DAVID LYNCH FOUNDATION RECOGNIZED THAT HEALTHCARE WORKERS WERE DEALING WITH CRUSHING LEVELS OF STRESS AND ANXIETY; MAKING RAPID, LIFE-OR-DEATH DECISIONS, ALL WHILE PUTTING THEIR OWN HEALTH AT RISK. WE HAVE QUICKLY MOBILIZED TO RESPOND TO THE NEEDS OF OUR HEALTHCARE WORKERS. THE RESPONSE FROM HEALTHCARE WORKERS, HOSPITALS, RESEARCH CENTERS, AND DONORS HAS BEEN EXTRAORDINARY. AS OF OCTOBER 2022, TM INSTRUCTION HAS TAKEN PLACE IN 67 HOSPITALS AND MEDICAL CENTERS AROUND THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING RESEARCH FOCUSED ON TM AND HEALTHCARE PROVIDER WELLNESS AT MAJOR RESEARCH AND TEACHING CENTERS.

IN ADDITION, HOSPITALS, POLICY MAKERS, AND THOSE CONCERNED WITH THE WELLBEING OF OUR NATION'S HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY AND ITS MEDICAL PROVIDERS WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE OF TM'S EFFECTIVENESS; WHICH HELPS TO SECURE AND ALLOCATE FUNDING FOR FURTHER TM INSTRUCTION.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2021 – Jun 30, 2022Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$1.2MResilient Warrior Program
