The Kern National Network for Flourishing in Medicine (KNN) is a national movement whose work focuses on integrating four foundational elements within the profession of medicine: character, caring, practical wisdom and human flourishing. We advance this work by connecting and convening stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem, catalyzing transformative initiatives, and influencing policy and systems change. When clinical learning environments, practice settings and health systems cultivate wholeness of being and purpose—along with competence and continuous improvement—then those within can truly flourish. That’s the aspirational goal of the KNN: Advancing character, caring and practical wisdom in medicine to ignite a positive culture change that benefits individuals, community and society. The KNN partners with healthcare stakeholders nationwide to transform healthcare’s education and practice settings and create the conditions of possibility for flourishing within those spaces.
