Health Equity

No one knows more about their patients than nurses. We’re the ones who are most tuned in to the ups and downs in their lives, how they live, what they can (or can’t) afford, who they do (or don’t) have to lean on for support. We are best positioned to understand the obstacles to good health that create health disparities, like poverty and discrimination, as well as their consequences, such as powerlessness and lack of access to housing, safe environments, and health care.
