The Center to Champion Nursing in America has announced the formation of the Champion Nursing Coalition, a diverse group of organizations representing consumers, insurers, businesses, healthcare providers, and other stakeholders. The coalition will emphasize the importance of finding solutions to the nation’s nursing shortage as an essential component of meaningful healthcare reform.
The Center to Champion Nursing in America is a joint initiative of AARP, the AARP Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. It was created to address the shortage of nurses in the U.S., which is projected to reach 500,000 by 2025.
