In 2024, the Pennsylvania Nursing Workforce Coalition (PA-NWC) designed a bold new five-year plan to advance nursing in PA and create a culture of health. We will share best practices and inspire healthcare transformation through our relationships across academia, government, healthcare administration and delivery, community and professional organizations, and non-profit and for-profit companies.
The PA-NWC will lead the state in creating learning communities for nurses and healthcare partners through in-person and virtual opportunities, including conferences, peer-to-peer learning, informal gatherings, and webinars.
The PA-NWC will curate member-centric, place-based content with a robust digital strategy to showcase downloadable toolkits, trainings, and podcasts to maximize reach and impact.
