Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
Health Equity Leadership Project/Program
According to The Future of Nursing 2020-2030 Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity Consensus Report indicates that the decade ahead will test the nation’s nurses in new and complex ways. The decade ahead will demand a stronger, more diversified nursing workforce that is well-educated and competent to provide care, promote health and well-being among nurses, individuals, and communities and most importantly address the systemic inequities that fuel wider and persistent health disparities. The report highlights a major role for all nurses to engage in the complex work of aligning public health, health care, socials services and public policies to eliminate health disparities, implement public policies, and achieve health equity. Downstate students explored ideas, leadership styles, and competencies for nurses to achieve these goals.
