Overview
Partner: Naples Comprehensive Health (NCH)
Population Served: Nurses and healthcare professionals
Program: HatchPath Coaching Pilot (Post-Pilot Phase)
Healthcare professionals—particularly nurses—are operating under unprecedented pressure. Long shifts, emotional load, staffing shortages, and sustained stress have pushed many to burnout, disengagement, or exit from the profession altogether.
NCH partnered with HatchPath to pilot a scalable, human-centered coaching program designed to support nurses where traditional wellness benefits often fall short: in real life, on real schedules, with real human support.
The Challenge
NCH identified several core challenges facing their workforce:
- High stress and emotional fatigue among nurses
- Limited time and energy for traditional wellness programs
- Need for confidential, non-clinical support
- Difficulty sustaining engagement with one-size-fits-all solutions
- Desire to support staff without adding operational burden
The goal was not another wellness initiative—but a solution that nurses would actually use, that respected their time, and that delivered meaningful impact.
The HatchPath Model
HatchPath delivered 1-on-1 personalized coaching, supported by a concierge-led experience tailored specifically for NCH's workforce.
Human-Centered Coaching, Tailored to NCH
Participants accessed vetted coaches across:
- Mental & emotional resilience
- Health & wellbeing
- Life & career support
- Leadership and mindset
- Purpose and personal growth
Coaches brought lived experience, empathy, and practical tools—no scripts, no automation, no bots.
The Concierge Experience (Key Differentiator)
Every participant received a white-glove concierge experience designed to drive trust, follow-through, and consistency:
- Discovery quiz to inform coach matching
- 1-on-1 concierge kickoff call
- Pre-scheduled sessions to reduce friction
- Warm coach introductions
- Ongoing concierge check-ins throughout the journey
For nurses with demanding schedules, this removed the most common barrier to engagement: having to figure it out themselves.
Pilot Structure & Optimization
Designed for Busy Healthcare Professionals
Based on pilot learnings, HatchPath optimized session structure to better fit nursing schedules:
- 50-minute kickoff session to establish trust and goals
- Ongoing 30-minute sessions for sustainability and accessibility
- Bi-weekly cadence to reinforce habits without overload
This approach delivered:
- Greater flexibility for shift workers
- At least 30% cost savings per session
- Increased coaching touchpoints without increasing time burden
Engagement & Scope
During the pilot:
NCH participants invested 80+ hours in coaching
Engagement spanned multiple coaching categories
Participants consistently returned for follow-up sessions
Interest was broad, not siloed—indicating whole-person need

Organizational Impact for NCH
The pilot demonstrated that HatchPath could:
Deliver high engagement among nurses
Provide meaningful support without adding HR or admin burden
Offer measurable insight into areas of workforce strain
Scale support in a cost-efficient, flexible way
Complement—not replace—existing benefits and resources
The concierge-led model ensured that support was activated, not just offered.
Why It Worked
This partnership succeeded because it was:
As highlighted in national coverage of HatchPath's mission to support burned-out nurses, healthcare workers don't need more programs—they need accessible, human support that fits their lives.
Looking Ahead
The NCH x HatchPath pilot demonstrates a scalable model for supporting healthcare professionals at a time when retention, wellbeing, and resilience are critical.
By combining personalized coaching, concierge support, and flexible delivery, NCH and HatchPath showed that meaningful workforce support doesn't have to be complicated—it just has to be human.
