Ochsner Health has entered a unique strategic partnership with Joy 101, a well-being platform for digital health created and managed by Emmy Award-winning journalist and bestseller writer Hoda Kotb. From the partnership Ochsner is going to introduce a unique platform for its employees without any cost which will be a milestone for an employer as also for the healthcare system. A platform for the multigeneration workforce, Joy 101, gives small but potent daily wellness practices like meditation mindfulness sleep management, and physical workouts. Workers with hectic schedules of patient care and clerical management can easily adopt them. This move is a direct response to a call from employees that the changes would go a long way in building an employee-friendly culture, combat burnout, and foster mentally strong working routines right from the leadership down to the line workers.

Highlighting the practical value of the platform, Gayle Benson, Owner of the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans and long-time Ochsner supporter, noted: “Joy 101 is a wonderful complement to the resources Ochsner already provides because it meets people where they are and gives them practical tools they can use every day.” Reinforcing the necessity of self-care for healthcare professionals, an Ochsner team member added: “Throughout your life, you hear sayings like ‘You can’t pour from an empty cup’ or ‘Put on your own oxygen mask before helping others.’ Joy 101 is a tangible way to do exactly that. Whether you need a daily mental health practice, a weekly reset or simply a quick pick-me-up, the app offers something meaningful for every moment. The variety of content is incredible, and I find that I can always discover something that meets me where I am emotionally.” Ultimately, this partnership complements Ochsner’s broader benefit ecosystem, reaffirming its commitment to driving employee engagement, retention, and enterprise-wide well-being.
