Leading Systems Change

​

If you were unable to attend the Fourth International Integrative Nursing Symposium, you still have the opportunity to engage. Until May 30 at 11:59 pm Central, all keynote and plenary speeches, and all poster and oral abstracts are available to watch online, and you may still earn continuing education contact hours.

The theme for our gathering was “Leading System Change." The Covid-19 pandemic, the fragility of health care institutions, the growing awareness of systemic racism and the planetary crisis have accelerated the need for whole person, whole system and whole planet care and healing.
