The Nightingale Initiative for Global Health — often called ‘NIGH’ — is a catalytic grassroots-to-global movement and community — remembering and appreciating why, how and what Florence Nightingale achieved in her time.

• Our Vision is to renew the flame of Florence Nightingale’s legacy by inspiring nurses — including students and retirees and concerned citizens to tell their stories — as global citizens advocating for a healthy world!
• Our Mission is three-fold:
To engage & empower the voices of world’s estimated 27 million nurses — including students, retirees and concerned citizens — in story-telling advocacy, dialogue and liaison — local to global.
To promote global health — to reach all UN Sustainable Development Goals and to promote the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
To encourage self-care understanding that the actions we take for our own health are relevant to the health of all nations.
• Our Values include promoting and modeling new methods for working together in the global community —to raise global public concern and commitment toward achieving a healthy world.

We value collaborative initiatives and communications to give nurses, midwives and concerned citizens a voice and create opportunities to realize the potential for their unique contributions toward health and well-being for all.
We value the legacy of Florence Nightingale and other nurses and healthcare workers — past and present — who have shown, by their example, how their actions contribute significantly to a peaceful, prosperous and healthy world.
