LET’S DRIVE THE NEWS FROM JOHNS HOPKINS NURSING

CONVERSATION ON

HEALTH, POLICY

Nurses are leading the way to a new vision of health.

While traditional care systems treat wounds, injuries, and
sickness, a shift is happening toward prevention, wellbeing,
and whole-person care. This is where nursing has always
thrived; and it’s where we now have a timely opportunity to
advocate for access and resources for all to live healthy
and well.

In this issue, we offer a glimpse at the future: the upcoming
launch of a new policy institute at the Johns Hopkins School of
Nursing, where we will maximize our roles as researchers, data 1
analysts, entrepreneurs, and problem solvers. You’ll meet our
inaugural cohort of Policy Honors Scholars, who are readying
to address the world’s most critical health challenges through
advocacy. And we will introduce our plans for the school’s
presence within the new Johns Hopkins building at 555
Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC, the center of policy
and national influence.

The anticipation is building for nursing’s stewardship in this
new century of care. The Johns Hopkins School of Nursing
educates nurses to lead, conduct unparalleled research, and
drive the conversation of health and policy, locally to globally.

Thank you for reading. We hope you enjoy the issue.
