Systemic racism has for generations undermined the health of individuals and communities across America, and clearly is a public health crisis.
Recognizing that nurses play a central role in and hold major responsibility for the health of individuals and communities hit hard by historic racial inequity, the University of Washington School of Nursing has established the Manning Price Spratlen Center for Anti-Racism & Equity in Nursing. To shape the center and determine its priorities, listening sessions were held in Fall and Winter of 2021-2022 to hear the interests of faculty, staff, students, alumni, nurse leaders, healthcare institutions, community organizations and professional associations.
Creation of the center reflects goals of the school’s broader diversity, equity and inclusion strategic action plan, launched in 2016, that lays out a framework to advance and imbue diversity, equity, and inclusion within learning, research, and practice settings.
The mission of the Manning Price Spratlen Center for Anti-Racism & Equity in Nursing (MPS CARE in Nursing) is to dismantle systemic barriers for historically marginalized and underserved populations in order that they may thrive. As the nation’s first and only center dedicated to anti-racism in nursing, the Center is committed to training students, educators, medical providers, and community collaborators through models of education and leadership rooted in social justice.
