is to convene alliances and develop programs
around clinical, and policy measures to improve the quality of life for underserved, underprivileged, and underrepresented at-risk populations. We achieve our mission through education,
research, and policy implications as these programs highlight
the impact of the nursing shortage and leadership in the United
States and its territories.
We hope you find the information here relevant and useful to you. Since its inception, the National Black Nurses Foundation has been committed to:
Improving the quality of life for underserved and underrepresented populations;
Informing healthcare providers and health consumers to improve outcomes;
Stabilizing the healthcare workforce to improve healthcare delivery; and
Raising awareness through education.
The NBNF continues to pursue its vision to become a leading convener on consumer health by engaging clinical, policy, research, and community advocates to improve health outcomes and patient safety and enhance quality of life through awareness, information, and education. We actively pursue ways to keep you informed about our activities. Our website is one of the ways we do this and Facebook is another.
The Foundation is piloting an upcoming program titled “LifeBeat – A WebRadio Magazine” which focuses on providing consumer health information from clinical, policy, and community perspectives to assist health consumers in achieving change in behavior, improving quality and impact of care, and enhancing quality care improvement.
