Nursing and Health Systems

As North Carolina and the world face new and unprecedented health crises and an aging population, nurses are ever more central to the health and well-being of patients, families, and communities. Carolina nurse researchers are building on the essential role nurses play across a wide range of settings and are improving patient safety, quality of care, and outcomes.
