A diverse nursing workforce is essential for providing equitable, compassionate, and culturally competent care. More than 200 changemakers convened at the inaugural summit to advance equity and chart a course for meaningful change.
Through powerful discussions, real-world success stories, and a shared commitment to progress, we moved beyond conversation to action. The summit concluded with a resounding call to action, ensuring that every participant left equipped and empowered to drive lasting impact in the profession.
This is just the beginning. The work continues, and together, we will continue to fight for a more inclusive, equitable future for nursing.
