The Academy’s annual Health Policy Conference provided a forum for attendees to learn, discuss, and influence health policies through nursing leadership that advances healthy lives for all people. At this year's event, the Academy is envisioning its future through the power of courageous transformations. This conference will explore the importance of virtual health, community-based partnerships, and the economic value of nursing to advance the goal of attaining a more equitable future. With a focus on leadership strategies to enact systemic change and promote well-being, attendees will hear from interprofessional thought leaders in policy and practice who will share key health equity interventions that will transform how health care is paid for, provided, and received. The Academy invites and seeks to engage Fellows, nurses, students, policymakers, and other stakeholders in a rich conversation to better prepare attendees to engage in trusted collaborations and take bold action to advance evidence-driven policy solutions.
