Join us for an insightful discussion featuring key stakeholders from Louisville, including police officials, the mayor's office, and community leaders, who will outline the blueprint for the nationally recognized Summit Wellness Center. In the wake of 150 days of civil unrest, the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) faced significant challenges, including six different police chiefs and a record number of officer departures. Despite these obstacles, LMPD successfully established a public-private partnership to launch a state-of-the-art wellness center within just 18 months.
The Summit Wellness Center is dedicated to the five pillars of wellness: mental, physical, social, spiritual, and financial. This innovative approach has fostered a supportive environment for officers, leading to improved retention rates and overall well-being. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from city, departmental, and community leaders as they share their journey toward creating a gold standard in officer and employee wellness.
