About Us
The Center for Nursing Excellence and Innovation
The Center for Nursing Excellence and Innovation unites nurses and leadership across our system to foster a culture of excellence. Through collaboration and continuous improvement, we aim to enhance patient care and support the professional growth of our nursing caregivers. Our shared governance councils serve as the voice of the Center, establishing a framework to advance our collective purpose in the following focus areas:
Shared Governance Councils
Superior Outcomes – Provide the highest quality care to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients and workforce.
Professional Growth & Development – Build a stronger workforce and create a culture of success.
Research & Innovation – Redefine nursing care through innovation, research, and evidence-based practices.
Care Delivery Transformation – Introduce alternative care models and technology that enable nurses to provide a safer and more personalized care experience.
