New Name!

Tue September 1, 2015

We’ve got a new name.
As the California Institute for Nursing and Health Care, we developed strong, diverse coalitions and served as a forum for collaborating, building and sharing what works. Now it’s time for our name to reflect that impact.

In this time of rapid change in health care, HealthImpact has become more agile and responsive. We continue to collaborate with a wide range of partners, designing and creating practical solutions to better prepare nurses for the day-to-day challenges they face, especially as health care moves from traditional settings to team-based care in the community.

HealthImpact:

Offers programs and tools on demand to help nursing keep pace with the evolving health care landscape, both for new as well as experienced nurses
Sponsors the California Action Coalition, dedicated to specific strategies to use the skills, talents and experience of nurses to improve health

Advises nursing programs on a seamless transition from associate programs in nursing to four year programs
