Our story
Better care begins with people who feel supported.
Ending Clinician Burnout brings clinicians, healthcare leaders, and change-makers together to build healthier healthcare workplaces.
Founded in 2020 by Jonathan Fisher and Kelcey T., ECB grew from lived experience with burnout and a shared belief that clinicians need connection, practical support, and meaningful changes in the places they work.
A community becomes a conversation
A February 2021 mini-summit explored workplace culture, physician well-being, and mindfulness. That August, our first three-day Global Summit brought together clinicians and experts to discuss personal recovery, leadership, psychological safety, and organizational change.
In his 2021 summit reflection, speaker Robert Pearl described the breadth of the gathering and called for collective action to improve healthcare’s systems and culture.
The work continues
Today, we connect people through our community, share resources, and convene conversations about clinician well-being. Our vision is a future where caring for healthcare workers is an essential part of healthcare quality.

Jonathan Fisher, MD FACC
Co-founder and Chair
I’m a cardiologist, mindfulness and compassion teacher, and healthcare well-being leader trained at Harvard and Mount Sinai.
My own experience with anxiety, depression, and burnout inspired me to co-found Ending Clinician Burnout—the community I wish I’d had when I felt alone.
Today, I help clinicians and healthcare organizations build healthier workplaces and reconnect with joy and purpose through practical, evidence-based approaches. I speak and lead workshops on clinician well-being and am the author of Just One Heart: A Cardiologist’s Guide to Healing, Health, and Happiness.
