Prioritizing self-care at Northwell Health
At Northwell Health, the well-being of our team members is a top priority. We have over 100 wellness programs designed to help our team members and their families build healthy habits, manage stress, sleep better, strengthen their fiscal responsibility and plan self-care.
One of the many ways Northwell supports the well-being of our team members is through our annual Go for the Gold Paris Movement Challenge. Each year, our Team Member Wellness team features a different destination to help employees learn more about different locations throughout the world. This year was unique because instead of highlighting a specific country as a destination, the team highlighted the venues of the Paris Olympic games. In 2024, more than 3,500 teams made up of 19,100+ team members competed in the challenge. Each team of up to six colleagues had six weeks to walk approximately two million steps collectively to reach the final Olympic venue. Ten teams overall were selected – such as the CLI Steppin’ Squad and the Hot Chili Steppers, among the rest — with each participant receiving a $5,000 prize.
This initiative motivates team members to build in movement while working as a team. The encouragement to stay active and make healthier choices has a ripple effect, inspiring family and friends to join in and help motivate our participants. Team members are incentivized to get active not only by tracking steps with a wearable device, but by leveraging an app for tracking healthier habits, like a device-free bedtime routine and drinking enough water daily.
“The Go for the Gold Paris 2024 movement challenge is a fun way to bond with my team and compete against other teams from my hospital. I like that all teams that cross the finish line are eligible to win the grand prize, and your team doesn’t have to come in first place overall.”
– Karyn, Registered Nurse, Zucker Hillside Hospital
From walks outdoors during lunch to gathering with friends on days off, our teams found fun ways to get their steps in while gaining more exercise and energy, developing healthy habits and improving mental health. In addition, for our remote team members, it provides a unique chance to connect with their teammates even if not in person.

Northwell Health’s annual Chefs Challenge takes food to the next level in healthcare culinary cuisine
At Northwell Health’s 13th annual Chefs Challenge, our talented culinary teams competed at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in New York City to make a nutritious and delicious meal that may be offered to Northwell patients in the future. Northwell is committed to raising the bar when it comes to creating healthy cuisine for our patients and team members while redefining food in healthcare.
During the 90-minute, Top Chef style competition, teams of chefs, cooks and registered dieticians used an assigned set of ingredients to prepare nutritious and enticing three-course meals for the judges. The celebrity guest judge this year was Marcus Samuelsson, owner of Harlem’s Red Rooster and Chelsea seafood restaurant, Hav & Mar.
Phelps Hospital was awarded first place in the competition. Kelly Walker, executive sous chef at Phelps Hospital, shared that participating in Northwell’s 13th annual Chef Challenge was amazing. One of the things Kelly loves about being a chef at Northwell Health is the care behind the food. “Food is medicine and Northwell keeps breaking the mold on what hospital food can be. The quality in the food that we serve has jumped leaps and bounds from what one would expect from a hospital and I am honored to be a part of it,” said Kelly.
The winning dishes included an appetizer of beet-and-brussels sprouts potstickers served with raw beets, a beet coulis and a vegan horseradish mouse. The main entrée was black trumpet mushroom-crusted monkfish with spring onions, fava beans and garlic-potato puree and for dessert, a delectable Valrhona chocolate and prune Napolean cake with a dark chocolate ganache. Plainview and Syosset hospital’s team placed second, with Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City placing third.
Susan Juechter, senior registered dietitian at Phelps Hospital, shared how exciting it was to be at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) for the Chefs Challenge this year. “The recipes submitted for the Chef’s Challenge not only demonstrate the skill and creativity of our Northwell Chefs, but also the nutritional understanding of building a balanced menu that meets the therapeutic needs of our patients.”
