INVEST IN THE FUTURE OF NURSING

We invite you and/or your organization, to partner with us to help build the Nursing Student Success Fund aimed at building our state’s nursing workforce.  There are multiple ways to donate and every donation makes a difference. 100% of all donations go directly into the Nursing Student Success Fund.

The Center works within communities throughout Colorado, and across the nation, building a stronger and more diverse nursing workforce. Our work aims to build a workforce that improves access to care and mirrors the communities in which they work.

Our Commitment

The Center's journey to create a more diverse and inclusive nursing workforce began when we convened a group of key stakeholders to begin the conversation. Our commitment today, and always, is to address health disparities in our diverse and underserved communities by actively working to build a more diverse healthcare workforce.

Our commitment goes beyond the Colorado healthcare workforce and is a part of our core principles.  We know we must walk the talk.

The Center’s focus is building and enabling a healthy nursing workforce. Our programs offer pathways to practice through training, professional development and access to resources and support.  Check back often as we have multiple new opportunities throughout the year.
