At the Pennsylvania Nursing Workforce Coalition (PA-NWC), we believe diversity is essential to reducing healthcare disparities and fostering a more inclusive workforce. The Nurse Diversity Council (NDC) is dedicated to advancing diversity and cultural humility in nursing to ensure all Pennsylvanians have access to high-quality, patient-centered care.
The Nurse Diversity Council focuses on:
The Nurse Diversity Council is built on the philosophy of Gracious Space—a spirit of openness and respect. We believe in “inviting the stranger” by welcoming new perspectives and embracing “learning in public,” which means listening with an open mind and being willing to adjust our viewpoints. This framework helps us create an environment where meaningful, inclusive conversations about diversity can thrive.
We invite healthcare professionals and nursing students from all backgrounds across Pennsylvania to join the NDC. As a member, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with diverse leaders and professionals in the nursing and healthcare fields. Our members meet once a month via virtual conference to share updates, discuss progress, and drive forward action plans to promote diversity and inclusion in nursing.
To join, please contact PA-NWC Assistant Director, Zaharaa Davood at .
As members of the Nurse Diversity Council, we embrace the spirit of inviting diverse perspectives and learning from each other, fostering an environment of creativity, growth, and mutual respect.
Open to anyone in Pennsylvania who is committed to fostering diversity in healthcare.
Meetings are held virtually once a month, lasting one hour.
We’re always seeking members and guest presenters to highlight meaningful initiatives that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in healthcare. Presenting at an NDC meeting is a great way to showcase your organization’s impact, share best practices, and connect with like-minded peers. We’d love to hear from you!
