Riverside Healthcare is proud to announce that it has been awarded a 2025 Platinum Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health by Mental Health America (MHA). This is the fourth consecutive year that Riverside has received this recognition.2025 Platinum Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health by Mental Health America

 

The Bell Seal is the nation’s preeminent certification, recognizing employers committed to creating mentally healthy workplaces.

 

MHA is the nation’s leading community-based nonprofit dedicated to promoting mental health, well-being, and illness prevention for all. MHA has spent decades researching mental health in the workplace and introduced the Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health in 2019 to recognize organizations that value and implement policies and practices that support employee mental health and well-being.

 

The Bell Seal recognizes employer advances in workplace mental health by awarding Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum recognition. Only two in five employers meet the standards for Bell Seal certification. Riverside Healthcare underwent a rigorous evaluation of its policies and practices in four areas: workplace culture, benefits, compliance, and wellness programs.

 

Gaining status as a Bell Seal recipient demonstrates Riverside Healthcare’s ongoing commitment to employee mental health and well-being.

 

"Earning the highest certification for Workplace Mental Health from Mental Health America for the fourth year in a row emphasizes Riverside's dedication to our employees' overall well-being," said Phil Kambic, Riverside Healthcare President and CEO. "Through our Well in Mind program, we support our staff's mental health, enabling them to deliver exceptional patient care to our community."

 

"Well in Mind," Riverside's employee assistance program, is a free and confidential support service provided by Riverside Healthcare to its employees and their household members. The program focuses on support, prevention, and a mindful mental health and well-being approach.

 

Employee assistance programs like "Well in Mind" are especially important in health care as doctors, nurses, and staff members face emotionally challenging daily situations.

 

"Our team of counselors understands the demands that working in healthcare can bring, and we know how important it is for Riverside employees to have access to help when they need it," said Kristin Bell, "Well in Mind" Program Coordinator.

 

Riverside Healthcare is committed to providing the best for its employees and looks forward to continuing work to ensure they uphold the standards the Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health set forth.
