Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity
APHN applauds the newly-released Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity report highlighting the value of community and public health nursing. The related Report Brief “Valuing Community and Public Health Nurses” discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has shown the important role of nurses not only in caring for the sick but in working to “contain and limit infection”. Community and public health nurses know that “infection” takes many forms, including structural bias and racism and social and economic inequities. Community and public health nurses are innovative in approaching and addressing inequities and the ongoing needs of our communities.
With the challenge of creating a path to health equity, this new report recommends investing in resources and funding to increase the number of community and public health nurses and establishing a national nursing workforce commission to track progress and develop further recommendations for preparing nurses to address the social determinants of health and advance health equity.
