This collaboration makes Ochsner Health the first health system and employer in the country to offer Joy 101 to its team members. Nearly 40,000 Ochsner employees will gain complimentary access to the platform, which provides expert-led content on meditation, breathwork, sleep, movement, and personal growth.
