UnitedHealth Group's philanthropic arm, The United Health Foundation, said Dec. 1 it is partnering with the American Nurses Foundation on a three-year, $3.1 million program aimed at fighting burnout among nurses.

The new program is inspired by a similar program developed for the military and will specifically target nurses of color and those under 35. It is designed to identify and reduce stress issues, educate about and normalize those issues, and provide support from colleagues — the results will then be developed into a national campaign for 50,000 nurses nationwide.
