Keenly relevant to our times...
​yet we have yet to share what we know....

​More than ever before, we are all impacted by the health of everyone else around the world. Yet, most critical global health issues are still under-reported, under-valued and poorly understood. Although nurses and midwives  have important knowledge, experience and wisdom, we have yet to effectively share what we know with the general public — with the global community.

Nurses and midwives are the world’s largest healthcare workforce — 80% of healthcare delivery globally. The International Council of Nurses — a federation of national nursing associations from 132 out of 193 UN Member States — counts the numbers of nurses as 

​at least 29 million strong.  Nurses are consistently named the most trusted of professionals. 

What better voices to call for what needs to happen—for the sake of humanity's health at local, regional and global levels?

​​​We can focus our collective callings — for the sake of 21st century health care and for related social, ecological and human rights issues. While we continue the practices we have already established — we can also be innovative and create new practice arenas. We can model our global advocacy — the fulfillment and satisfaction of being nurses —  inspired to continue bringing health and healing to our world.

Nightingale passed this vision on to us — to remember who we are, what we can do, who we care for and why — and then — to share her vision, as she did, with our world.
