Our Vision, Mission & Values

​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 four-fold — based on the Theory of Integral Nursing (TIN):
To engage & empower the voices of world’s estimated 29 million nurses, including students, retirees and concerned citizens, in story-telling advocacy, dialogue and liaison, local to global.
To encourage self-care — understanding that the actions we take for our own health are relevant to the health of all nations.
To celebrate the diversity & common ground of the worldwide nursing and midwifery culture.
To promote global health — to reach all UN Sustainable Development Goals and to promote health-related UN Conventions and Declarations, including the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

• 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.   ​
