Virtual Lecture: Gain insights from a distinguished panel of nurse activists as they discuss the crucial role of advocacy in tackling health inequities.
Drawing inspiration from Mary Eliza Mahoney, the first African American to graduate from a nursing program in the U.S., our speakers will explore how nurses can continue Mary Eliza Mahoney’s legacy through active engagement in health policy, community outreach, and leadership.
Participants will gain valuable insights into the strategies and challenges of modern nursing advocacy, learn from the experiences of leading voices in the field, and discover how to apply these lessons to effect change in their communities.
