About Us
This course was created by the innovative minds at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing and the Rita and Alex Hillman Foundation.
Our Vision
The University of Pennsylvania and Rita and Alex Hillman Foundation share a belief that nurse innovators are more crucial now than ever before. Nurses are on the front lines of healthcare, and this affords nurses enormous opportunities to use innovation to improve health and well-being, design and create new and equitable approaches to care, and communicate health information to the community at-large.
We are, and have always been, a school and a community dedicated to making change happen — to innovating not just for care and cures, but for life and living. We created this course so that nurses, no matter their experience, setting, or location, could join us in designing a healthier and more equitable future for all.
“…together we can continue to drive cutting-edge solutions to some of today’s most challenging health care issues.”
