The Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing prepares students to become the nation’s best nursing teachers, leaders, researchers, and practitioners. They will set a new standard for health care quality. This is difficult work, and it simply cannot be done alone. The School of Nursing invites you to become a partner in caring and help create the future of nursing. Your investment in scholarships and community engagement for Emory students will ensure that new generations of nurses will be there to improve care and the environment in which it occurs.
Faculty collaboration with students and the larger community creates new solutions to the complex challenges of reaching those in need. The support you give Emory nursing faculty will help attract and retain the best teachers and researchers. Investing now in the future of caring is the right thing to do at just the right time. By partnering with the School of Nursing, which is in its second century of improving health care at home and abroad, you can make a real difference in the world.
Creating real solutions to the nursing shortage is central to the School of Nursing and its Campaign Emory goals. Your gifts to Emory nursing will prepare nurse leaders to improve the science and practice of health care across the globe. Your investment will attract and support the best nursing students and faculty; advance teaching, research, and service programs; and enable new models and methods of health care.
To strengthen research efforts, the School of Nursing strives to be among the nation’s top three private schools of nursing in funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Nursing researchers at Emory work to improve health in a host of areas, including studying the symptoms of heart failure, sleep deprivation in cancer patients, and HIV medication adherence. Your investment will help the School of Nursing build research capacity and collaborate with other disciplines to find practical answers to the difficult questions facing health care. Strong academic and research programs are key to attracting NIH funding.
Understanding that health care is a human right, not a commodity, the School of Nursing works to be a leader in international nursing. Emory nurses collaborate with health care workers in developing nations to improve the safety of childbirth, prevent HIV, and develop nursing education. With your support, the school will continue to create new partnerships with global health colleagues, help build nursing capacity in developing nations, share knowledge with nurses and health care officials worldwide, and prepare students to respond to the care needs of a global society.
