About

The retirement years are the most spiritually fertile years of our lives, and the retirement transition is as much, or more, about an emotional and spiritual journey than anything else. While LIVE events are temporarily on hold, our services can be delivered virtually. Our retirement retreats have been designed specifically for the Christian/Catholic nurse. If you desire to discover new purpose, new meaning and new directions, in whatever retirement may bring, you have found the right retirement resource.

Experienced health care professionals know that good data helps to drive best practices and deliver the best outcomes. The programming offered in the Medical Professionals Retirement Institutes TM is solidly based on more than 35 years of retirement research by one of the pioneers in retirement research and gerontological counseling, Richard Johnson, Ph.D.   Dr. Johnson is a psychologist in the St. Louis area, the developer of the Christian Retirement Challenge Profile and the author of our foundational text, entitled “Creating a Successful Retirement”.

Forbes Well-Being Advisors is the first group to apply Dr. Johnson’s pioneering work to the soon-to-retire health care community; most especially to clinicians of faith. While most retirement resources focus exclusively on the financial aspects of retirement, the Medical Professionals Retirement Institutes TM offer clinicians a unique opportunity to transition into retirement as never before, looking at all the known factors which impact a purposeful and satisfying retirement. If you choose to participate in our programming, know that will be helping Forbes Well-Being Advisors gather normative data for Christian/Catholic nurses, which will lead to further refinements in the science of Christian clinician retirement programming. If retirement is in your future, we invite you to contact us to learn how you can bring our programming to your community.

While our LIVE retreats have been placed on hold, scroll down to learn more about our inspiring educational events. Our events are staffed by Rachel Forbes Kaufman, the president of Forbes Well-Being Advisors (FWBA) and the executive director of the Medical Professionals Retirement Institutes TM, and other key advisors from FWBA. Our programming is enhanced by physicians with special programming expertise and certified financial planners (CFP), which offer their particular expertise in various segments of our programming.
