4C Health Celebrates 3 Years of 4-Day Workweek with Strong Employee and Patient Care Outcomes

Peru, IN— 4C Health is proud to celebrate the three-year anniversary of its innovative 4-day, 32-hour workweek model—an approach that continues to reshape the future of behavioral healthcare work environments. Launched in 2022, this shift was driven by a commitment to improving employee wellness, work-life balance, and quality of care.
The results speak for themselves:
 95% of employees report high satisfaction with the model and express no desire to return to the traditional 5-day schedule.
 88% say it has had a positive impact on their lives outside of work, including time for family, health, and personal growth.
 85% feel more socially connected, reporting stronger relationships and community involvement.
 Over 70% report a reduction in burnout, citing better rest, focus, and overall well- being.
 More than 86% say they provide better care to clients as a direct result of the 4-day workweek.

“According to Jason Cadwell, 4C Health’s Chief Financial Officer, “4-day work week is all about working smarter through deep focus, leveraging of technology, eliminating waste in the workday both inside and outside the company, and simplification of processes to ensure that staff are able to engage high value-add services. At 4C Health, we have been able to exceed accessibility standards and productivity under a 4- day work week as compared to a 5-day work week, both when compared to ourselves and compared to our peers. One of the most common myths about a 4-day work week is that it is just about working less or it reflects a laziness in workforce. That is so far from truth. Increasing access to quality care and daily capacity for care provision and supports while simultaneously providing our workforce with time back to their lives. Time being the most valuable commodity that any one of us has. That is not only great healthcare, it is a great business and people investment.”

As the national conversation around employee wellness and retention in healthcare continues, 4C Health remains a proud leader in implementing workplace strategies that deliver results for staff and clients alike.
