Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for the Health Care Workforce
As a dynamic community of medical-surgical nurses committed to a mission of providing quality patient care, we acknowledge inequity harms people, health care, and health. Our core values have always been to dedicate, transform, collaborate, and advocate for that mission. As organizations reap the many benefits of diverse teams, we have realized how a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion increases the cohesiveness of those teams. This places employees in a better position to collaborate, communicate, and provide outstanding patient care.
