"Let’s create healthcare teams that work—for everyone."

Workplace tensions and leadership misalignment create divides that impact teams and patient care.

With SWC, we bridge those gaps—aligning teams, strengthening leadership, and building a workplace where healthcare professionals and patients thrive.​​

When healthcare teams struggle, everyone feels it.

  • Misalignment in leadership leads to communication breakdowns, turnover, and burnout.

  • Workplace tensions create barriers to collaboration and innovation.

  • Patients suffer when healthcare teams are disconnected, disengaged, and unsupported.

  • We can fix this together. With the right approach, we can transform challenges into opportunities for lasting impact.

A strategy that works:

The BRIDGE Framework

Unlike traditional approaches that focus on compliance or one-off training, BRIDGE is a structured, system-wide strategy that creates alignment between individuals, teams, and organizations.

What happens when you get this right?

Since early 2019, over 2,000 professionals and institutions have used SWC’s strategies to improve team alignment, reduce workplace tensions, and strengthen patient care. 

"Evaluating social identities was very interesting.  It is a topic that I will use to communicate more effectively with team members and our members." – Health Insurance Group Leader

"The individual sessions with Dr. Washington before facilitating were really helpful. Her didactics at the beginning of our meetings were powerful, and the space she created for conversation afterwards was transformative." -- Family Medicine Physician

"It has made me more thoughtful about my interactions with my colleagues and recognize the many missed opportunities I've had over the years to practice/embody allyship. For so long I didn't feel like I necessarily needed to be part of discussions,  I recognize now that I absolutely must be part of that work. So I'm sitting with how to be more confident and use my voice." -- Program Coordinator
