“We are supporting NOBC because our healthcare system needs to change. I think one of the reasons the healthcare system is the way that it is, is because nursing has not been in key leadership roles. I think that historically we have not felt empowered to make changes or to speak up and this has done a huge disservice to public health system which is now in a crisis. We owe our perspective and our voice to our patients and the public. At Walmart we put nursing front and center to address the health needs of the vulnerable, underinsured, self-insured, Medicaid and uninsured, which unfortunately is a rapidly growing segment of our population. Nurse Practitioners have the key elements to improving community health. NPs have proven again and again that we have the skill set and knowledge base to deliver safe, quality care. Walmart recognizes NPs as the change agents our healthcare system needs to create a healthy society. And we proudly support nursing in key leadership roles. I am very excited to be a part of your movement. I’m giving my speech tomorrow in Houston about the Voice of Nursing and I have several slides for NOBC and how they can get involved. I will also continue to encourage our own nurse practitioners to join boards and register on the NOBC website.”
