Reimagining the Nursing Workforce: Opportunities for Growth in PA, Part 1

We’re thrilled to announce a major milestone for our organization—our brand refresh! Formerly known as the Pennsylvania Action Coalition, we are now the Pennsylvania Nursing Workforce Coalition, a new name that reflects our mission to place Pennsylvania’s nursing workforce at the forefront of healthcare.

In this episode, we dive into our vision and strategic priorities as we embark on a five-year plan to advocate, support, and advance a nursing workforce that drives a healthier Pennsylvania. Our approach includes three core initiatives: Bolstering nursing workforce pathways, Reimagining public policy through data, and Embracing diversity with equitable solutions.

We’ll be joined by Daniel Hudson, Vice President and Associate Chief Nurse Executive for Nursing Operations and Administration at Jefferson Health in Philadelphia. Daniel is one of our newest advisory board members, and he brings invaluable expertise in nursing workforce optimization, care delivery, and staff engagement. We’ll be discussing the future of nursing, healthcare trends, and how Daniel’s extensive experience can help us move closer to our goals.
