Inaugural Physician Retreat

A weekend to connect, empower, recharge, and celebrate — together.

This is not just a retreat. It is a gathering of courageous hearts.

Hosted by Kim Downey in honor of turning 60, the inaugural Stand Up for Doctors Physician Retreat invites you to step away for renewal, honest conversation, shared laughter, and the kind of connection that reminds you why this work matters.

Set in the serene Hudson Valley at Windrose on Hudson, the weekend unfolds in a setting designed to support focus and reflection, free from distraction.

Your registration includes:

  • 3 Night stay at Windrose on Hudson (2-night stay also available)
  • All Meals
  • Conference Program

Join us, and reconnect with your purpose, your people, and the work you still care deeply about.
