One year after the release of the Future of Nursing 2030 report, we will convene to take stock of the work done so far and consider the road ahead of nurses charting a path to achieve health equity.
We will share how the Campaign intends to promote opportunities to help you engage and guide your work moving forward. Tools and resources will be provided to assist you with implementing the National Academy of Medicine’s recommendations to achieve health equity in the U.S. built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise. The event will feature speakers including chief executive officers of nursing organizations working to advance equity and leaders helping to address structural racism in nursing.
This event will include the Campaign’s state-based Action Coalition leaders, nurses, other health care providers and leaders from business, government, unions, policy, education, consumer, and social justice organizations.
The objectives for the summit include:
- Celebrate the first-year anniversary of the release of the Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Health Equity;
- Review progress from the field pertaining to the report recommendations;

Resources
This Action Coalition Summit deck serves as a planning document for 2022-2023 objectives. The goal during your Action Coalition meeting day two is to identify successes & challenges from the past year and using insights from the May 18 Summit & Future of Nursing Report, create a shareable action plan for your state.
The Health Equity Toolkit is a one stop shop for tools, resources, and information that your Action Coalition and partners can utilize to help communities in your state address the social determinants of health.
For our country to advance health equity for all, the systems that educate, pay and employ nurses need to permanently remove barriers to allow them to do this work, value their contributions, prepare them to understand and tackle these issues, and diversify the nursing workforce.
