Meet our Founder

Christa Rymal | Registered Nurse, Founder & CEO

PointRetreats_April2024_0349Christa Rymal is registered nurse and former healthcare administrator. She is now the Founder and Chair of the Board of the WeCare Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the wellbeing of healthcare professionals through supportive burnout recovery tools,
expert self-care education, and restorative whole person experiences.
With more than a decade of experience as a healthcare entrepreneur and leader, Christa has focused her work on creating meaningful and impactful continuing medical education (CME) programs and experiences designed specifically for physicians, mid-level clinicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. Her work blends professional education with evidence-based wellbeing practices, helping caregivers reconnect with purpose, resilience, and community. In addition, all programs are designed to help healthcare professionals prevent or treat burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma.
Christa’s 20+ years of clinical and professional background spans multiple areas of healthcare including orthopedics, emergency medicine, cardiac care, diabetes management, endocrinology,
and functional and lifestyle medicine. In addition to her nursing experience, she has worked extensively in healthcare leadership and administration, giving her a unique perspective on the challenges healthcare professionals and healthcare leaders face across clinical, organizational, and system settings.
Through the WeCare Foundation, Christa is working to build innovative programs such as wellbeing CME conferences, CME gift boxes packed with a dose of self-care, healthcare worker CME retreats, and more — all designed to remind those who care for others that they deserve care too.
