We believe diverse perspectives, strengths, and resources lead to innovations with greater potential for impact. We partner and collaborate with health systems and communities to research new and better ways to deliver health care, improve nursing education, prepare health profession teams for the complexities of our current and future health care system, and improve the quality of life for residents of Wisconsin and beyond.
