Championing nurses, pioneering healthcare innovation, and igniting change. That is The Power of Nurses™. RTs & Likes are not endorsements The American Nurses Foundation (est. 1955), the charitable arm of the American Nurses Association, is committed to advancing the nursing profession and improving healthcare for all. We raise funds, develop programs, and administer grants to advance nursing research, education, and clinical practice; through this work, we promote the success of individual nurses and empower them to transform healthcare. Our vision is to foster a healthier world through the power of nursing. With the ongoing need for strong, resilient healthcare systems, nurses—5 million strong—are poised to serve as role models, educators, and advocates for health, safety, and wellness. The Foundation provides tools to help nurses achieve their full potential and maximize their impact on public health.
