America’s healthcare system is at a breaking point. 71,309 physicians left the workforce between 2021 and 2022, and while healthcare workers are leaving in droves, potential replacements face roadblocks.
Nursing schools turned away over 78,000 qualified applicants in 2022 due to capacity constraints, while the national dropout rate for nursing programs remains at 20%.
And the crisis is only getting worse. 
By 2036, the U.S. is projected to face a shortage of over 62,000 psychologists, 69,000 mental health counselors, and 6.5 million allied health professionals.
Meanwhile, 800,000 registered nurses are expected to leave the workforce by 2027.
From mental health professionals stretched thin to a system struggling to fill the gaps, the cracks in our healthcare foundation are widening.
These alarming figures highlight the growing emergency in both healthcare and mental health services—and demand immediate action.
This is why we created foorum Nexus, the nation’s premier awareness event dedicated to celebrating excellence in integrated health.
