Whether welcoming a new life, easing the hospice journey, shaping tomorrow’s innovations, or guiding from the c-suite, nurses wield outsized influence as trusted professionals in our ever-changing health care environment.

Today’s nurses continue a remarkable journey built on a legacy of consideration for the health and welfare of their fellow man. Honing an ethic and conscience that empowers their daily work, nurses are alchemists blending the science of nursing, art of caring, and discernment of business. When all else fails, their secret weapon is the profound dimension of empathy.

Nurses produce results and deliver on their promises. They maintain a wide swath of professional responsibility and keep countless considerations top-of-mind. Recognizing challenges and opportunities, nurses never shy from owning their role and those processes to which they are assigned.
