As the
National Commission to Address Racism in Nursing has said, “racism is historically rooted in the nursing profession and continues today. The time is now to transform the profession by addressing racism in nursing.” The Academy is a part of that history and we must take our own measures to address racism in the profession. The INL signature event workgroup is planning a follow-up event, "Moving Conversation to Action: Championing Health Equity for All," that will focus on how to institute change in a way that advances the Academy's vision of “Healthy Lives for All People.”
