In line with its commitment to the health and wellbeing of
nurses, and for advancing diversity, equality, equity, and
inclusion in the nursing profession, AMN Healthcare is donating to
support the work of three nonprofit organizations.
The recipients are the National Black Nurses Association, the
Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcare, and The DAISY
Foundation™. Each organization will receive $50,000 to continue in
their mission of providing health initiatives for underrepresented
nursing communities.
“We are honored to support these organizations that are making
an important impact in the communities they serve,” said Susan
Salka, President and CEO of AMN Healthcare. “These organizations
mirror the AMN commitment to a just and equitable healthcare
workplace where every healthcare professional has the opportunity
to do their best work and achieve their full potential.”
The donation will benefit the efforts of the National Black
Nurses Association (NBNA) to grow its leadership development
programs; community health initiatives; and diversity, equality,
equity, and inclusion efforts. The global organization represents
approximately 308,000 nurses in the United States, Canada, Eastern
Caribbean, and Africa. The association was founded in 1971 under
the leadership of Dr. Lauranne Sams, former Dean and Professor of
Nursing at Tuskegee University’s School of Nursing.
The Schwartz Center for Compassionate Healthcare puts compassion
at the heart of healthcare by supporting the mental health and
wellbeing of healthcare professionals. The Center provides
education, training, and support for hundreds of thousands of
healthcare workers in the United States, Canada, Australia, New
Zealand, Ireland, and the U.K. The AMN donation will support the
Center’s work to support small, public, and rural hospitals’
implementation of Schwartz Rounds®, a program that offers
healthcare professionals an opportunity to discuss the social and
emotional challenges they face in caring for patients and
families.
The AMN gift to the DAISY Foundation will benefit the
organization’s recognition program, The DAISY Award® for
Extraordinary Nurses, by enabling its implementation in rural
health facilities, underserved communities, and international
schools of nursing that do not have the means to participate.
Created in 1999, in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, and inspired by
the compassionate care his nurses provided to him and his family,
The DAISY Foundation is the leader in meaningful recognition of
nurses. The Foundation partners with over 5,000 healthcare
organizations globally in honoring extraordinary, skillful,
compassionate care provided to patients and families.
