The Problem

The United States spends over $3.5 trillion annually on health care while underperforming on nearly every metric. Our nursing workforce needs vast improvements so that nurses are retained, valued as individuals, and able to address the unique needs of each patient, community, and population group so that all can flourish.

The Solution

Systems that educate, pay, employ, and empower nurses need to permanently remove barriers, value nurses' contributions, prepare nurses to lead and inspire innovation and foster understanding of the uniqueness each person brings to their care plan.

The Colorado Center for Nursing Excellence and hundreds of community members lead the Colorado Action Coalition (COAC). Four Strategic Advisory Committees are tasked with planning the Future of Nursing Recommendations implementation in Colorado over the next decade. Implementing the Recommendations will take a village.

We Want YOU to help us build a supportive and dynamic workforce to improve the lives of all Coloradans.

Committees meet monthly; you are expected to remain engaged and attend meetings as soon as possible with your schedule. This is an excellent opportunity to have your voice, perspective, expertise, and interests heard and gain a feeling of community, maintain progression of professional development, and increase satisfaction by working on mission-driven/passion/values-based work.
